Man's story is of sin. God's story is of love.
"As high as the heavens are above the earth, so high are my ways and thoughts above yours."
Isaiah 55:9 (GNT)
Man's story: After we were created, we fell into sin and death. We went astray. We were guilty and lost. We deserved punishment. We were in bondage to sin. We were dying and without hope. We couldn't help ourselves. So Christ came to rescue us. Christ died and rose to bring us back to God.
God's story: You have always been My child. Before the beginning of time, I already knew and loved you. I always knew we would be together forever. We're so close, we are one. You're so delightful to me, so beautiful and sweet! You are perfect and utterly adorable, and all I want to do is love on you! I have knit us together so well, for I became human to share your experience on earth and I raised you up into glory so you can always share My experience in heaven. You are in the center of the family circle of the Trinity, where you have always belonged. I will spend eternity loving you!
A Thought: God's story overwhelms our story!
