My sisters and I love the old Jesus movie starring Jeremy Sisto. I love the part in the end when Jesus was walking away…Suddenly, the background changes and he begins to walk in our times, wearing long-sleeves and jeans. That`s also the Jesus movie where Jesus smiles too frequently and I love it.

As a child, that made a huge impact on me. I love that Jesus smiles a lot, `cause that means He`s not that angry and distant God many people thinks He is. I love it because I need not be afraid, for He is loving and He loves me deeply. He smiles at me and looks at me tenderly. And I was so fascinated that the same Jesus who walked the towns of Nazareth is still the same Jesus who is present in our age today. That he is not just the Jesus of the Roman Empire days. He is the same Jesus today. He is alive today. Just as He is 2,000 years ago.

I really, really fell in love with the Lord with that. To know that He smiles. To know He also feels happy. To know that He understands me…and He is not scary. ;)

I love it that he loves me tenderly. That those eyes of His, they look at me, seeing through my whole being, and yet He loves me wholeheartedly.

I don`t think someone will ever look at me and love me the way Jesus does.
