IMPOSSIBLE

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

John 3:16
King James Version

I can't even find the right words to thank my sister for all she has done for me so it is impossible to thank God for all He does. Fanny Crosby wrote the beautiful inspiring hymn "To God Be the Glory". I love these words. "To God be the glory, Great things He has done; So loved He the world That He gave us His Son, Who yielded His life An atonement for sin, And opened the life gate That all may go in."

God opened His heart to us and gave His beloved Son to die on the cross for your sins and for my sins so we can have our sins forgiven through the redeeming blood of Jesus and live in Heaven for eternity. Would you willingly send your son to war knowing in advance he was going to be killed? Of course, you wouldn't, but that is what our Heavenly Father did for you and for me.

If you are reading this devotion, know that you are loved not only by our Heavenly Father but also by our Saviour. What brings tears of happiness to my eyes is knowing that one day every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord.

Jesus will never have to die again but every day we hurt Him when we don't love others unconditionally as He has commanded us to love. May God have mercy on us for hurting His beloved Son.
