Just finished reading, The Four Loves by, CS Lewis.. His writings can be a little over my head at times because I'm sorely lacking in the vocabulary sector. But the very first time I laid eyes on these words, I got it. It was perfectly clear. This is beautiful! This is why I am overwhelmed at the love my Father in Heaven and my Savior, Jesus Christ, freely give me. I do not deserve such love nor in my wildest dreams could I ever repay it....yet, here it is - poured out on me without measure. I am awe-struck, amazed, brought to my knees... why me? Because HE is LOVE personified.
"I marvel that He would descend
from His throne divine To rescue a soul
so rebellious and proud as mine,
That he should extend his great love
unto such as I, Sufficient to own,
to redeem, and to justify."
Hymn 193
