About The Book

The constant noise of contemporary life makes it easy to miss the most profound message the world has ever known: Jesus loves you. Innovative teachers Craig Gross and Jason Harper will separate the religious from the real as they show how this simple truth is worth our undivided attention. The authors weave Jesus' narrative with their own stories of serving among the "least of these" in this inspiring summons to world-changing faith. Join them as they encounter shut-ins, drunks, inmates, porn stars, and others while striving to follow Christ in their daily lives.

Bad Days...I Still Know

by jason harper on Mon, Aug 24th 09 at 08:04PM

I find it amazing at how quick a situation can melt down.  It starts with a thought and leads to an action.  In moments, it can parlay into an interaction with a family member or co-worker.  Words fly.  Emotion flares.  Relationships bruised.  Add to it a weakened economy, a melted down investment, and a personal fiasco and the strongest person can be left dangling in desperation.  Have you ever been there?  Most have.  I have. 

It is in those moments that it seems that nothing can console the soul.  Everything I cling to wobbles.  Yet in the midst of that madness, I have found that the only thing that holds my insanity is that I can say, “THIS IS KNOW.”  Essentially, when all the things I care about are unraveling, I know that Jesus’ love for me is secure.  No matter what I have done, Jesus’ love is stable.  Nothing can separate me from it.  On my worst day, God still loves me.

Nothing can separate me from it.  Nothing can steal it away.  Nothing I do can cause Jesus to love me more.  Nothing I do can cause Jesus to love me less.  Rather than insecurity, the security of Christ’s love for me motivates me to live and love others.  It causes me to want to lead others closer to Him.

Where are you with this?  Do you know that he reaches out and draws you closer to Him with unconditional affection?  It sounds illogical; it is.

But it is the only thing I know.

Today with this love, live and lead others to it.

Much hope,

Jason
