Unfathomable Love

Most of us, don't realize how much we're loved!
Whether it's love from another person, love from God, or both!
I'm one of those people. I go through the day, and I have to remind myself, and prove to myself, all day, that God loves me! In-spite of every sin I do, in-spite of every time I fall short. God Loves Me. In John 3:16 it says: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish but have ever lasting life."
Now I don't know about you, but I've spent a lot of time thinking about this verse. Unable to believe that it applies to me! I've taken this verse apart so many times, and I stop dead when it says "He gave His Only  begotten Son". Oh my word! Have you ever stopped to think about that! God, the creater of the universe! The creater of you! gave up His only Son, so that you could spend eternity with Him! Have you ever seen or expereiced a bran new daddy? Have you seen the look on their face? It is unexplainable! There is so much love and Joy, and that mans face! You know right then and there that that man would do anything to save this child from pain, or suffering. But God loved us so much, and He knew the only way for us to be saved from eternal death, was to give up His son. The one that He looked at and that unexplainable face flashed across His. He gave His ONLY son, so that we could spend eternity with Him! That just blows me away! I have a nephew, and even though He's not my child, I wouldn't put him through that! I mean it pains me just to punish him! I can't imagine how much pain God endured, so we could know His love! That, is just unfathomable to me! I can't beleive God would do that to save me! Alot of the time I think, "Well, He did that for everyone else, I wasn't on His mind when He made that decision, to give up His son." I have such a hard time beleiving that God loves me! personally, so whenever I think of that verse I've always come to this question. "God, if I were the only unsaved sinner left on this planet, would You come and die again, just for me"? Now, for me, to believe that God would do that for me....no. But when I look at other people, and see how much I love them, I'm reminded that God loves them infinity times the amount I do! and I can say without a doubt that God would do that for them! Because He loves them SO much. And I try to beleive that He would do that for me. Because I have friends, who love me! and they remind me, "God loves you so much more!"

I am so thankful for the people who love me! even though, I struggle to believe they love me. If I stop and think rationally about it. I can see that they love me. Even if it's just a teeny, tiny, bit. And God, loves me Infinity, times more!
