When I was a kid, I visited a church with my cousin and her grandma. They sang Jesus Loves Me. We stood in a circle and held hands with the teacher in the middle. As we sang she went from child to child saying "Jesus Loves You" as we sang. I began to cry because I thought I was about to be majorly embarrassed. I fully expected her to say 'Jesus Loves you to the child on my right and then pass right over me and say it again to the child on my left. You see.... NO ONE loved me, and if there was anything I was sure of, that was it. But - she didn't pass over me. As a matter of fact, she paused in front of me and said Jesus Loves You and I was convinced. I had to learn all I could about this Jesus fellow, and find out how he could love me. It changed my life. How a simple song could mean so much and bring a very real message to a child who needed it, I will never quite understand. But - I became a child of God's that day and life has never since been the same.
So..... that song holds a very special place in my heart. I sing it to the grandbabies often as I rock them to sleep.
