How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure
that He would give His only son
and make a wretch His treasure . . .
How deep the Father's love for us? The first verse of this song says it all: that He would give His only son. I think that's as far as I can go. Truthfully, I don't understand the depth of this. I mean, I know what happened and why it happened... but I don't understand. My own abilities of giving, sacrificing, LOVING... they don't go this far. When it comes to Jesus... I'm pretty much numb. His birth, life, crucifixion, death, resurrection--the whole shebang. I know it, but I don't understand it. I don't feel it.
God... the sacrifice of Your Son shows straight-out the depth of Your love for me. I want to understand it... I want to feel it. I want to feel the depth of Your love and know Your heart that much more. Help me to understand through YOUR knowledge and YOUR understanding. Not my own. I'm limited and narrow minded. Allow me to know that I can come closer to You, and so I can REALLY celebrate this day, and all the other days relating to Your Son. I don't want to do this fake "Merry Christmas" crap anymore. Help me God. Bring me closer.
