As Jay and I were headed to the beach this weekend we were going through my CD's listening to diffrent songs when I ran across this CD by the Casting Crowns. This song "Love Them Like Jesus" has meant so much to me over the last couple of years. Their was a time when life was really dark, when you don't really know what to do, where to go, or even what to pray for. At this same time My brother and sister n law became pregnant, which was such a ray of sunshine in my dark time, only to lose the baby a couple of months later. So when I would hear this song it would minister to me because it spoke to both of our situations so specifically. Well time went on and God has been more than faithfull and blessed my life in so many ways. Josh and Candace now have a beautiful baby girl, and our hurts are far behind us. I guess I said all that to say this. When I really didn't not know how to help my situation or my beautiful daughter who was also in pain, all I could do was love her like Jesus....

The love of her life is drifting away
They’re losing the fight for another day
The life that she’s known is falling apart
A fatherless home, a child’s broken heart

You’re holding her hand, you’re straining for words
You trying to make - sense of it all
She’s desperate for hope, darkness clouding her view
She’s looking to you

Just love her like Jesus, carry her to Him
His yoke is easy, His burden is light
You don’t need the answers to all of life’s questions
Just know that He loves her and stay by her side
Love her like Jesus
Love her like Jesus

The gifts lie in wait, in a room painted blue
Little blessing from Heaven would be there soon
Hope fades in the night, blue skies turn to grey
As the little one slips away

You’re holding their hand, you’re straining for words
You’re trying to make sense of it all
They’re desperate for hope, darkness clouding their view
They’re looking to you

Just love them like Jesus, carry them to Him
His yoke is easy, His burden is light
You don’t need the answers to all of life’s questions
Just know that He loves them and stay by their side
Love them like Jesus

Lord of all creation holds our lives in His hands
The God of all the nations holds our lives in His hands
The Rock of our salvation holds our lives in His hands
He cares for them just as He cares for you

So love them like Jesus, love them like Jesus
You don’t need the answers to all of life’s questions
Just know that He loves them and stay by their side
Love them like Jesus
Love them like Jesus
