I am thankful for my Saviour!
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
-Romans 5:8
When I read this verse, I think, "While I was still disobedient, disrespectful, unkind, , (fill in the blank) God still loved me and Christ was still willing to die for me."
What an amazing God! To look at me, at my worst, and to give Himself for me, what an amazing Saviour! I would give my life for my husband - without a doubt. For my children? I wouldn't hesitate. For you? Maybe. Depends on the circumstances. However, sacrifice one of my children for you? Not going to happen. Not ever. One of my children for someone who will reject that gift or, worse yet, mock that sacrifice? Unthinkable. Yet, that is what Christ did for me. And for you. I still do not completely understand all that He sacrificed for me or all the wealth that His salvation affords to me, but today I am thankful for that great gift, the gift of salvation, freely offered to all.
