The fact that we are loved and accepted and forgiven in spite of everything we have done is simply too good to be true.

The cross is Gods way of taking away all of our accusations, excuses, and arguments.

Love is what God is, love is why Jesus came, and love is why he continues to come, year after year to person after person...May you experience this vast, expansive, infinite, indestructible love that has been yours all along. May you discover that this love is as wide as the sky and as small as the cracks in your heart no one else knows about, and may you know, deep in your bones, that love wins.
