Another meme!

Gracious, these things are going around!
Puff the Magic Dragon tagged me for the “Why I Love Jesus” meme. Puff’s answers were so doggone good that I have to post them for all to admire:
WHY I LOVE JESUS.
1) HE loved me first.
2) HE suffered, was crucified, died, was buried, went to hell and back, and rose from the dead for me.
3) HE listens to me when I speak to HIM.
4) HE always answers my requests, though admittedly, He sometimes says “no”
5) HE has never forsaken me.
OK. Let’s all “ooh” and “ahh” over her answers, which are, quite frankly, probably better than anything I could come up with.
All done? Alrighty. Now I need to answer these, and I fully admit that my answers to this are not going to be as awesome as hers…let’s stipulate that I agree 100% with her answers, but will try to come up with five more.
Why I love Jesus. Hm…
1. Because He did it all – the Incarnation, the Passion, the Crucifixion, the Resurrection – willingly. At any point in the process, He could have said “No, I’m not going to do this,” but He didn’t do that.
2. Because He gives me His Real Presence, and His Body and Blood as nourishment.
3. Because He has loved me always, even when I loved neither Him nor myself, and in spite of all the wrongs I have done to Him, whether directly or through wrongs I did to others.
4. Because He is constantly calling me to Him.
5. Because He is Truth.
The rules
Those tagged will share 5 things they “love” about Jesus.
Those tagged will tag 5 other bloggers.
Those tagged will provide a link in the comments section here with their name so that others can read them.
Hmm…I don’t like those rules. Let’s skip the part about tagging five other bloggers, because I’ve tagged so many people in the last few days, and let’s say that anyone who wants to participate is invited to, whether in the combox or on his/her own blog. Let’s also say that if you don’t want to come up with five things (though let’s be honest, I’m sure most of us could come up with a lot more than five if we just thought about it, even if we don’t want to tell others about some of them), you’re free to just mention one or two in the combox.
After all, memes are like viruses, and viruses mutate. 
Ooh, I’m flattered. But I was just trying to explain why I Love HIM, and this list sort of came out. As every Christian knows loving Him starts with Him loving us first.
