For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son...
Would I send one of my sons away to live with those who hated him? Let him be insulted and belittled while I watched? And then allow him to be killed for the sake of his tormentors?
My mother-heart cries no!
But HE did that for ME!
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now I'm found,
Was blind but now I see.

I'm so glad he did!
ReplyDeleteI was saved after I gave birth to Colton... and I was terrified of this concept. I sat on my bed and cried... "but I dont want to give up my son!" I thought that if I gave my life over to Jesus, He would ask me to do that, like Abraham.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great reminder Kristin!

ReplyDeleteThat's an awesome thought, and very hard for my human heart to ponder! Thanks for sharing Kristin!
