Chiché

In the past couple days, it has come to my attention how incredibly sad it is that some of the most profound verses in the Bible have become cliché to so many. For example:

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 

- John 3:16

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts always hopes, always perseveres. 

- 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

It's like we have become calloused to the greatness of God and the amazing gift of Jesus Christ....a gift that not a single one of us deserves.....a gift that was given at an incredible price....a gift that was given because God is love. And he is patient. And kind. And slow to anger. And he is everything that we are not.

I hope to always be reminded of this and never take for granted the miracle of my salvation.
