We spend so much time trying to make God small, to make Him like us, when we should be trying to become like Him. His love, His grace, His mercy, His power....they are all so vast, so un-measurable by our standards.
Yet we can know this: He created the world in love.
He came to us as a child, in love.
He taught us, in love.
And He died for us, in love.
The God of all power could have come in wrath and anger to straighten us out; He could have shocked us all by mighty acts sprung out of vengeance; yet He came in vulnerability, and died as a willing offering to reconcile us to Him.
If God made every effort to come to us in love, cannot we try to respond in kind to Him...and to each other?
Be blessed, my friends, and may you be a blessing unto someone else,
Beth
