Good Friday...

On this Good Friday morning as I think about what my God did for ME, I am in awe.  He orchestrated, and then watched his only son suffer a horrific death so that I would be forgiven and free from MY sins.  Who am I to deserve such love?  When you really try to grasp the intensity of a love like this, it makes sense that people in the world just can't believe it. Why would you sacrifice your only son, who has done nothing but obey and love you for someone you do not even know yet?  But He DID and does know us!  He knew us before we were conceived, and He knew that we would fail, that we would mess up over and over, and that the only way we could be saved from ourselves was through His son. Amazing, and quite frankly, for someone who has not chosen to accept Him and experience this love.. it's unbelievable.  It's our responsibility to bring this amazing truth to others so they CAN believe.  I've come to realize that I may never fully understand why, but I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that His amazing love is real, and true, and here.. now.
