...is that not incredible? Beyond our understanding? Waaaay off the map o' "norm"? And is it not ONLY a HOLY God Who COULD love us sooooooo much that He sent Someone to stand-in for us? This Someone, Who did what we could not do, and says, in essence, to this holy God, Father, here they are, Your beloved. I have done it. It is finished. Wonder if they're cheering us on, in heaven, with Abba, as we trod forth, falling sometimes, crumpling into a heap o' despair, crying soooo hard we cannot breathe, ....yet, He picks us up again, drying our tears, lifts our weary heads, and gives us the strength to go on.....just as it is written in Isaiah, on eagle's wings....as all of heaven cheers us on....
