When was the last time that you thought about God's never ending love towards you? Have you grasped the magnitude of what that means? Do you believe that you ever could? I literally can not fathom the intensity of God's love for me. When I think about the love that I have for my family, the deepest earthly love that I can imagine mustering, it can not even stand close to the amount of love that God has poured out on me. Since He is perfect, the love that He has for me is also perfect. He never has nor ever will consider loving me less.

Along with that staggering truth, He knows how impossible it is for me to love Him perfectly. Despite this fact He chooses to love me and accept me where I am. If that does not leave you speechless and amazed I do not know what possibly could. The One True God chooses to love me with his unfailing love and save me from an eternity separated from Him.

To think that the only requirement that God has for forgiveness is faith in all that He has done hardly seems real. This promise seems far too good to be true. But it IS true and Christ indeed saves! And my salvation has NOTHING to do with what I have done to deserve being saved. Praise God!

Thank You, God, for making me Your child when I can offer nothing to make me worthy.
