Warning: This Is Tough To Read!
Posted on April 19th, 2012 No comments… but it is very important!!
This morning, I was reading It’s Not About Me by Max Lucado. I came to a part that took my breath away. I felt led to share it with you all. Here it is:
God’s Great Love
“Want to see the size of my love?” God invites. “Ascend the winding path outside of Jerusalem. Follow the dots of blood until you crest the hill. Before looking up, pause and hear me whisper, “This is how much I love you.”
Whip-ripped muscles drape his back. Blood rivulets over his face. His eyes and lips are swollen shut. Pain rages at wildfire intensity. As he sinks to relieve the agony of his legs, his airway closes. At the edge of suffocation, he shoves pierced muscles against the spike and inches up the cross. He does this for hours. Painfully up and down until his strength is gone.
Does God love you? Behold the cross, and behold your answer.
It brought tears to my eyes having to type that. I hope it hits home for you as hard as it did for me.
Brothers and sisters, WE ARE LOVED!
