God doesn’t need you,
you know
But He’s
desperate
for you
He longs deeply
with a Father’s heart
God is fulfilled in Himself,
gloriously satisfied
but He would go to great lengths
just for you
He was willing to give Himself,
to give His Son
He gave up Heaven position
in perfection
to enter our broken world,
to walk with imperfect
He was willing to spend years
in dust and dirt and filth
like us
And He didn’t have to
Love
compels
the heart of God
and pure love made Him so desperate for YOU
that He allowed His own torture
and murder
He didn’t need to!
and He didn’t need you!
But
He was
desperate
for you
So
when you reject that gift,
that Deity sacrifice
you couldn’t turn from a greater treasure
It’s absurd
– Susie Stewart
This is how much God loved the world: He gave His Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in Him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending His Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in Him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust Him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person’s failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to Him.
– John 3:16-18 (MSG)
The Lord appeared to me in a faraway place and said, “I love you with an everlasting love. So I will continue to show you my kindness.”
– Jeremiah 31:3 (GW)
There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
– John 15:13 (NLT)
