When God sent Jesus, he was effectively saying this to us: " I know that you can't love me perfectly, so watch Me now. I will love you with all my heart, all My soul, all My mind and all My strength." And he stretched His arms wide and died for us.
" For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man somemore would even DARE to die. But God demonstrates his own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him."- Romans 5:7-9
- Excerpt from 'Unmerited Favor' by Joseph Prince
Everything, my dear, if only you knew.
It rids you of your guilty conscience, the love that sometimes turn to such a violent hate towards yourself.
That nagging thought in your head.
The loneliness.
The condemnation.
The I'm- never-good enough.
The emptiness.
