This is my favorite version of John 3:16 -
For you so loved the unlovable
That you gave the ineffable,
That who so believes the unbelievable
Will gain the unattainable.

-There You Go, Caedmon's Call


How great is God's absolutely uncomprehesable love!!! I look at myself every day and wonder how my Creater could love something that actually strives on a daily basis to go against Him! And He has every right and power to destroy us, but what does He do? He loves us with an unconditional love, something that we can never even understand because it doesn't exist on Earth! I think of the people who love me most and how conditional that love can be, whether they want it to be or not, and then think of how God loves me. Not how much, because it can't be measured. I mean, you might love your best friend enough to die for them, but honestly the thought would never even enter our minds to do the same for the person who totally hates us!And yet God came down from heaven to earth, which had to be hard enough, and did not consider Himself robbed, but became our equals, loved us whether we wanted it or not, and proved His love for us. I always think "wow" every time I think about that. How incomprehensable is that? By our human and even more American view it makes absolutely no sense! and yet God could see nothing more logical.

wow





P.S.
Our co-op is having a formal, and we're gonna be swing dancing and stuff like that. The deadline to sign-up was today but we might not have enough people to do it at our first choice place. The person organizing the event was going to see if she could extend the deadline a few days since we're still waiting on a few people to answer, but it's open to all homeschooled teenagers and I thought I'd extend an invitation to all you peoples. It would be soooo fun if any or all of you could come! If you want more info, let me know and I'll e-mail it to you.

Those are some truly amazing thoughts, Vera. So simple, so basic... and yet so often we forget. Thanks for reminding me. With a love like that, what more in life could we possibly need or want?
