God is committed to you, and isn't going anywhere.
Whether you believe it or not, He is waiting for you to run into His loving embrace.
He loves us so much: more than we will ever be able to wrap our minds around.
Imagine this: He sent His son.
His one and only son down to this earth to walk among His people.
To live..
And, to die...
On the night that He got arrested, He was praying so intensely that He was sweating blood.
Blood that would later be shed for US.
All of us.
Jesus, our precious Jesus was beaten.
Tortured.
Crucified.
All for us.
He died so that we can have a direct relationship with Him.
He died so that we could strive to be like Him.
So that we could shine His magnificent light upon this world.
So that we could have HOPE.
Love.
Grace.
He gave away His life as the greatest sacrifice of all eternity.
All so that we can know what love means.
He felt pain and agony.
He felt betrayed.
He cried out, "My God! My God! Why have you forsaken me?!"
Crying and broken.
Tortured and dying.
So absolutely horrifying, yet it was for us!!
Why do we ignore His still existence after He gave His life for us?!
I cannot express enough how important it is to realize how amazing this story truly is.
Because, guess what...
JESUS, our precious Jesus...
Conquered death.
Conquered sin and all of our fears.
He did it.
All for us.
He rose again three days later, and He lives on.
In heaven.
So powerful.
So real.
All for us.
Love restored.
Hope restored.
Jesus loves us.
Time to stop ignoring Him.
