i couldn't do it.....

God paid a HUGE price for our us! Today is Ryan's birthday..... and I am thinking about how much we love him and can't imagine sacrificing his life for anyone, anything, or any cause...for ever giving him up! But God loved us so much he was willing to let his son suffer a horrible death and pay the punishment for our sins. Wow. That's why he is God. He is unselfish, loving and giving. God loves us! Jesus is the great way God displays his mercy and justice. We know what love is, because he demonstrated it. How well are we demonstrating to others the mercy and justice of God?

Father, your love is so vast, so gracious, and so life-changing. I ask that you, O blessed Holy Spirit, would help change my heart to more perfectly reflect and glorify the Father. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen
