How deep the father's love for us.

I will not boast in anything— no gifts, no power, no wisdom.
But I will boast in Jesus Christ: His death & resurrection.

My actions & my resolutions could never amount to what God has in store if they’re not in line with His will. I really must trust in Him more. Must strive to be more like Him. His unconditional love never fails, so that same love must show through me. Although I may disappoint Him & stray away, He is gracious in greeting me when I return after so many mistakes, for in fact, He paid for it all.

“My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.” —1 John 2:1-2

Why should I gain from His reward? I cannot give an answer.
But this— I know with all my heart— His wounds have paid my ransom.
