About God, what are you most happy about?
That He would come and die for me. Each day I am shocked and staggard by this statement of love, which
is so profound and I am unable to quantify, that one so great, would desire to have me, and all my brothers
and sisters in Christ, for a people to eternity.
It transcends wealth, power, show, influence, pride, possessions, status, knowledge.
It grounds me, and sets me in the moment, in awe, in wonder, in praise, in thanks, in sadness at my failures,
in joy at His work of love in my life, in His words of truth and power. Nothing is more powerful or profound,
when life here seems so pointless, He is the focus, and His authentic statement is life to eternity.
19 We love because he first loved us.
1 John 4
6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
7 but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death--even death on a cross!
Phil 2
Praise the Lord.
