# Love
For God so loved the world that He gave His only son, that whosoever believes in Him shall nt perish but have everlasting life.
That's about as accurate as i can quote John 3:16.
But today I learned something on a whole new level. Imagine with me if u will... that...
- you are a father
- you have a son
- one day, you are walking down the street and your son wanders a further distance down the alley, not out of your sight. A few moments pass, and suddenly you see a man bumping into your son. As he turns around, he starts beating him up over the small incident. Your son is on the floor, barely conscious, and the man still continues to mercilessly assault him. Flat on the floor, he doesn't stop, pounding the very last breath out of your son. Finally, after what seemed an eternity, he relents, with your son barely alive on the floor.
- He walks towards you out from the alley.
Now, what do you do?
Today I learned what God would do. I saw Him doing it today literally.
God forgave. More than that, He sat him down, loved Him and showed Him the path to eternal life.
Today, I saw how merciful our God is. How great is His love. Today I heard, how God would reach down and forgive the very ones who hurt Him and His creation.
God forgives so freely, but would I?
God, I'm so in awe of your mercy. How Your heart did not burn with anger, but was consumed with compassion as Your only Son was brutally murdered. How You forgave the worst sinner, just as easily as You did me. That means, just one sin is as bad as what the worst sinners have ever done. Yet You forgave so freely. You loved, You loved, a people undeserving
the story ends like this;
