I love You, Jesus, for who You are—my Savior, and the Bright and Morning Star. I love You for what You are—the light of the world and the hope of my life. I love You for where You are—with me always, inside my heart.

I love the way You speak—so soothingly, so lovingly, so freely. I love the way You listen—so eagerly, so attentively, hearing and attending to my every prayer. I love the way You care for me—providing my needs and even my wants when You know they’re good for me.

I love the way You can look into my heart and see my innermost desires, my secret longings, my hidden wishes, and make them come true. You see the longings of my spirit—some of which never even reach my heart or mind before You fulfill them, because You know better than I do what I need and what is good for me. And when my heart is overwhelmed within me, in the midst of sorrows, Your comforts delight my soul.
