No Greater Love

"...The Temple was destroyed, so sacrifices couldn't be made anymore, and so God did away with the old covenant and brought His Son Jesus into the world. Jesus was God..."

Wait. I stopped writing. What's the point of Jesus being God? Why does that have significance?

It was something I had always puzzled over. "Jesus was God..." I'd heard it a million times. But what was the point? So Jesus was God. So... What?

Then it hit me, so hard I spoke aloud:

"So God, in a sense, killed himself for us."

I bowed my head as the weight of the statement hit me. An old memory verse came to my mind.

"Greater love has no man than this..."

Greater love has no god than this: My God laid down His own life for us.

About A Boy(friend)

{smile} You must get so frustrated with me when I ask for a husband or boyfriend. :) You must be up there looking at me, saying, "No. You are not ready yet." You know I'm not ready. I know I'm not ready! But I still want it...

{smile} And I'm reminded of the father-child analogy. The kid wants a pair of rollerblades when he has barely learned to skate. He passes by display windows and sees a pair like his friend has... Looks at it, longs for it, begs his daddy for it, and the daddy slowly pulls the boy away from the window.

That's exactly like me. "Please, please, Daddy, can't I find the one for me??" And I just barely got out--in fact, I'm not completely sure I'm out of my very first boyfriend-girlfriend relationship! And that was/is as full of mistakes as they come!

All right, Daddy. All right. I'll wait. I'll wait until You say I'm ready.
