"Right from the beginning God's love has reached, and from the beginning man has refused to understand. But love went on reaching, offering itself. Love offered the eternal...we wanted the immediate. Love offered deep joy...we wanted thrills. Love offered freedom...we wanted license. Love offered communion with God Himself...we wanted to worship at the shrine of our own minds. Love offered peace...we wanted approval for our wars. Even yet, love went on reaching. And still today, after two thousand years, patiently, lovingly, Christ is reaching out to us today. Right through the chaos of our world, through the confusion of our minds. He is reaching...longing to share with us...the very being of God. His love still is longing, His love still is reaching, right past the shackles of my mind. And the Word of the Father became Mary's little Son. And His love reached all the way to where I was." (Gloria Gaither - "Hymns for the Family of God", p. 200)
This is so beautiful, so touching, so real that I had to share it with you. God does love me.. and you.. and all mankind, and He desires a relationship with you. You need only to Admit that you are a sinner, Believe that Jesus, God the Son, died to pay the penalty for your sins and that He is alive, and Commit your life to Him, receiving His free gift of eternal life. Then He will pour His love into your heart and call you His own and make you His child forever.
