i added a couple of things to the girls’ list, personal ME things.
Jesus loves me. i know this because (how i personally feel this):
1. Nature (sunrise, set, beach, woods, sky, sunshine…)
2. Quietness/stillness
3. Music (songs about His love for me)
4. Driving with the windows down, arm out the window in the wind
5. When i pray and feel His presence
6. When i see something good happen–or see love around me
7. Through others. When they encourage me or show me love i feel God’s love for me
8. When i see God love others
9. How He always corrects me gently and in love, sticks with me, and never gives up on me
10. When i understand God’s plan for me and how His plan fits me so perfectly because He knows me like THAT (That was actually Eric McDowells insight. gotta give him credit).

I love Jesus. How i show this, how i know this is true, and how i learn to love Him more:
1. I’d die for Him
2. I can’t live without him or imagine life without Him
3. I think about Him all the time and start talking with Him whenever
4. It is a feeling deeper than myself
5. Singing to Him
6. Setting aside time to be with Him before anyone else
7. Spending time appriciating Him, telling Him what i love about Him
8. I can be quiet with him and not feel like i have to say anything
9. I want other people to know Him like i do, to know how great He is
10. Give and make Him things that are a part of me, share secrets with Him
11. Stand up for Him when others talk bad about Him
12. i want Him to be proud of me, smile when i am around, and laugh when i am funny
13. i ask His opinion before i do things or make decisions
14. it makes me want to be a better person, to be more like Him for me and for Him
15. This one is inspired by April. She said ”I’m sorta like my dog. he keeps running away from me, but he always comes back.” don’t we all.
