The Depth Of Love

[Auntie]

I have learned many things as a result of losing loved ones.  Before my mother died, I knew that I loved her very much.  But it was only after she died that I truely knew how much I loved her.  I could not know the depth of my love for my mom, until after I experienced losing her.

I have realized two blessings from this.  One, God has given us an incredible ability to love each other.  And two, I can better understand the immeasurable quality of God's love for us.  If we, as sinners, can love so deeply, how much MORE can God love us?  I don't think we can know how much God loves us, until we get to heaven.

Yeah i sometimes just sit/lie back and think:
God loves us so much that he gave his son willingly to die. His son was the only person to have truly deserved to go to heaven and he could have, but he gave all that up so that all us sinners could go to heaven. He spent 3 days in Hell for us, and that is not a nice place.

He sacrificed his own flesh and blood, for people who are/were filled with the devil and said/say and did/do horrible things against him.

And he died in a very painful, excruciatingly embarrassing and demeaning way, for us.

And i don't know but i don't think it is humanly possible to completely undestand the extent of his love for us. It's phenominal! It's is possible to understand a part of the love, but not to completely know it until you are right there with God.
I still have a lot to learn about it.
What can i say:

WOW

Agreed, Auntie. Never take anything for granted!!!

yes, love can do great things... if only we all love each other instead of hiding ourselves behind the curtains. It's sad to wanting to show your love only when the loved one has died.. *sniff*
