God's Great Love

Good morning and happy Friday and Christmas eve eve. So if you knew your newborn was going to be sick and have complications throughout their life, wouldn't you still love them with all you have? If your child goes astray in their life and is still in a dark place, don't you still love them with all you are? Of course we do. So if the merely mortals that we are are capable of loving so deeply the things that are hurting us and we have no way of helping them, how great then is the love of God for us? He created us and has sent a way to be with Him. He can help us but a choice by us has to be made first. His love for us is so deep I can't get my head around it. Jesus saw the world being made and the fall of man. He left Heaven and came to be ridiculed and mocked and killed to show the world the way back Home. He gave His life for ours. Why are we not giving back to Him with all that we are?  He's not asking for much. He only wants us to live a life following Him and the way He taught us. He wants our life so that we can be with Him forever. Love Him the way He loves us. To come here as a helpless baby and die just for us. There is no greater love than that. I love you Jesus. In love always. <><
