"Greater love has no one that this, that he lay down his life for his friends"
-John 15:13
Father, NOTHING compares to this love that you have given me. It's just so crazy, so radical, so action based, so unheard of. Jesus, you knelt there in the garden of Gethsemane as you prayed so hard that there was sweat. You cried out to GOD for help and strength. You knew you couldn't do it yourself and you didn't want to do it. But your love covered it all. You let GOD's will be done on earth as it is heaven. When they were nailing you to the cross, there's no doubt you were screaming in pain. At that same time you could've called for legions of angels to bring you off this wretched, GOD forsaken cross. But you didn't. You held on for us and there's not greater love than this. GOD, why would you choose to love such pitiful creatures? You didn't have to do it, but you did. You could've died an easier death. You could've died to make a point. You didn't have to save us. You didn't have to...
The greatest act of love in all of existence has been displayed. This love has been offered with all the tears, blood and pain. How could you not love this GOD back?
