As I sit here reflecting on what this weekend means to me, the rain is pouring down, my sick babies and sweet puppies are sleeping, and I'm fighting back tears to match the rain, trying to process the love my Savior poured out as He gave His life. Why would anyone allow themselves to go through such a gruesome death? How can I look at the cross and know that He chose to give up His life to cover my sins? I've always struggled to allow myself to sit in these thoughts because as I've gotten older, I have learned more and more about the details He endured leading up to His death. He loved me so much that He willingly became the ultimate once-and-for-all sacrifice. This kind of love was almost impossible for me to understand - and then I became a parent. I would do anything to protect and help my children. I ache when they are in pain, and it is an even deeper ache when I can't make their pain better. This is who Jesus is to me. He aches with me, He grieves with me, He rejoices with me and He encourages my soul. He knows we live in a world filled with heartache and He died so that we can eagerly look forward to spending eternity with Him in heaven. If you don't know this kind of love, it is the easiest and best decision you will ever make. How deep the Father's love for us, how vast beyond all measure, that He should give His only Son, to make a wretch His treasure. https://www.wrayaussies.com/about
