Imagine meeting someone who is so breathtakingly good, so kind and intelligent that you fall instantly in love with them. So you beg them to come and live with you. And they say, “Yes!”
Now imagine they’ve acquired videos of every mean, selfish, ugly thing you’ve ever done–thousands upon thousands of videos. You’re devastated. And yet after watching all of the videos, their answer is still, “Yes!”
That’s forgiveness. No, it’s beyond forgiveness. It’s perfect love–the most powerful force in the universe. How could you not love someone like that forever?
Now stop imagining.
That Person is real.
“But God proves his love for us in this: That while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” ~Romans 5:8
Amen. One day when a mostly ungodly woman was vacuuming, she hit the bureau and a tiny paper stuck into the mirror fluttered slowly to the floor. Its text said, “He died for the ungodly.” She once again found it hard to believe in coincidence.
Wow-no coincidence.

Amen
