"The greatest labor of love that ever happened was possible because Jesus pursued the greatest imaginable joy, namely, the joy of being exalted to God’s right hand in the assembly of a redeemed people: “For the joy that was set before him [He] endured the cross!” "John Piper-Desiring God

Can you believe it? That this is how God loves us? He chose us to be His children! He uses us! He made us in His image! He LOVES us! It blows my mind to even sit here and think about that kind of sacrificial love.

As believers we are called to love like this! 'Love (agape) the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love (agape) your neighbor as yourself.' Mt 22:37-40
