Having my Christmas Eve devotion this morning and thought about:
How Costly Love Is
How costly it was for God to deliver His son into a dirty, sin-soaked, violent world- it cost God…
How costly it was for Jesus to leave His Father and enter into this hurting world that would predominately reject Him to the point of killing Him-it cost Jesus…
Love was costly for Jesus. Love was costly for God…
Of course love is costly for us too.
We pay a high price when:
-we turn the other cheek,
-when we offer forgiveness when it’s not wanted,
-when we answer angry words with tenderness,
-when we give up our “right” to be right…
Love is Costly
I pray I have grace-enough to afford to love-
Merry Christmas my friends xo
Thank you..I hope that for me, too..
love your blog
Merry Merry Christmas to you and your family.
AMEN. God bless you and yours.
Merry Christmas, Robin! Love is very costly and very worth every “cent”. I can’t wait to hear what your 2017 word will be. Still praying on mine.
