Love Demonstrated

Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Some days I think on these words or read these words and think, Oh my goodness! How fortunate I am! I have days where I am so far from being worthy of the love of God. I make horrible choices.  I think terrible thoughts. I'm unkind in a nice way. (You know what I mean.) I prove to myself this very verse. There is nothing in me that is good enough for God. And praise be to Him that He loves me simply because I am His.  I am beyond grateful for the Savior and for the way that God loves on us before we ever even speak His name.  I am blown away by the fact that the Holy Father seeks me before I ever even think to look for Him. There is nothing more humbling than realizing fully that I am a sinner in need of grace every single day on this journey with Jesus.  But there is also nothing more hopeful than knowing I am loved by God and Jesus took my place in death so I can live with Him eternally.  My broken life made completely whole through the blood of Christ and His resurrection.  This is living life to the full and it's meant for ALL people!
