The other day, I carefully parked my Yukon next to the cart return at the grocery store. As I stepped out, a little girl who was hanging out a car window in the next space over sang out to me, “Jesus loves you!”

I laughed. “Yes, He does!” I replied. “And He loves you too.” She beamed at me while the young woman next to her in the car just smiled. “Good word,” I said to her as my son and I headed into the store. Her words stayed with me, but not just what she said, but the way she joyfully and directly proclaimed them.

What’s Our Message?

There is so much emphasis today on knowing and communicating your message, your name, your brand. While it is important to be clear on what we are presenting to the world and what we are specifically asking people to buy into, this encounter with a sunny little girl got me thinking. When it comes down to it, what is our message except to say, “Jesus loves you!”

• What is the one thing people need to hear? Jesus loves you!
• What is the one message that can change a life? Jesus loves you!

A Message From the Heart

The way she said those three words was so cute. It was like, “Jesus loves you, you know.” And it was said with the conviction of someone who knows Him.

I know Him. You know Him. We can speak from personal experience about how great God is. We forget how many people have never felt His love and have no idea how amazing it is to be in His Presence.

We are the voice, the eyes, the hands and feet of Jesus on the earth. Let’s find someone today who needs to know what God most wants them to know. Let’s tell them with all the passion of our heart: Jesus loves you! It’s the most important thing we can communicate to anyone today, this timeless message: Jesus loves you!

Maybe we need to hang out our car window and sing out for someone.

Is there someone you can intentionally tell about the love of Jesus today?
