• That article was long! Good job for reading it (half of you-other half, this one's shorter...).

  I'm reading this in 7 Minutes w/God:
  ==============
  Romans 5:7-8
  Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
  ==============

  But it's in this translation: (msg)

  =======
  We can understand someone dying for a person worth dying for, and we can understand how someone good and noble could inspire us to selfless sacrifice. But God put his love on the line for us by offering his Son in sacrificial death while we were of no use whatever to him.
  =======

  Wow. That last line really puts a new spin on things for me. But, I guess, here's the bottom line for me:
  We will never be able to fathom God's love, no matter how hard we try. Although we must seek Him daily, He's too awesome. God's love is incomprehensible, and we're commanded to love like He does. Wow. Do we love with an incomprehensible love? For EVERYBODY?
  Man, I know I don't. Yikes!

  Ok! I'm working on it! Help me Lord!
