Wow this is beautiful Every line rings with the heartbeat of God. Yes this is the story we are part of. This is the God we serve God is love 1 John 4:8 Not a weak or wavering love, but a fierce, faithful, redeeming love that doesn't wait for us to get it right before reaching for us But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us Romans 5:8 That’s the kind of love we’re not used to seeing in this world one that doesn’t flinch at our brokenness And yes, grace amazing grace It doesn’t give us permission to stay stuck, it gives us power to become new For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say ‘No’ to ungodliness and to live self controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age Titus 2:11-12 Jesus didn’t come to heap burdens on our backs. He came to lift them off Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest Matthew 11:28 And the heart of the Father? Always longing to bring His kids home While he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son Luke 15:20 God is holy, yes. But His holiness isn’t a wall to keep us out. It’s a fire that purifies not to destroy, but to restore His justice is restoration, not just retribution He has shown you, O man, what is good . To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God Micah 6:8 When we look at Jesus, we see who God really is The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His being..Hebrews 1:3 He entered our mess, our pain, our shame and loved us all the way to the end Having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end John 13:1 You are right this isn’t just theology, this is life. The realest kind of life. The life that begins when we understand We love Him because He first loved us 1 John 4:19 So let the weary soul take hope. There is a God. And He hasn’t given up on you He hasn’t changed His mind about loving you. He’s still standing at the door not with a list of demands but with nail-scarred hands and an open heart See, I have engraved you on the palms of My hands..Isaiah 49:16 May every word you wrote today be planted deep in hearts that have forgotten, doubted, or never known this kind of love. Because this is the gospel And this is the God who made us. He is still Emmanuel God with us Still the Shepherd. Still the Friend of sinners. Still the One calling out in love Come home.
