I was just sitting here thinking of what to write today, when it crossed my mind that I am saved. A child of God. Bound for heaven someday. And what did I do to deserve it?
Nothing. That’s what. Next to a pure, holy, and sinless God, I am nothing. Dirty. Filthy even. Certainly not deserving of His love. Not deserving of spending eternity with Him.
Yet God, in his grace and mercy, offered up his son to die a horrific death to save me. Me. The one who is nothing next to God. Being a parent, I cannot imagine sacrificing one of my children. Yet that’s exactly what God did.
Why? Because he loves me. Again. Because he loves me. That astounds me.
And do you know what? He loves you too. Have a blessed day.

Thank you for the reminder. It is always amazing to think of the entire resurrection in terms of a loving parent who needs to make the biggest sacrifice. Have a great day.
