it reads,
"God so loved the world that He gave..." (John 3:16)
Let's stop right there.
Sometimes these words can become so familiar
that they roll by on the page
without eliciting any new thought.
But the greatest mystery
of the universe is that God gave_
and He gave and He gave some more.
In fact he gave everything
so that we could be with Him.
That's how much He loves us!
Yes, our God continues His giving.
Are we grateful for everything He gives?
I'm sure I'm not.
I need to be reminded often
to be grateful for everything,
in every situation.
Recently I watched a video of a man
named Tony Melendez.
He was born without hands,
and he learned to play the guitar
with his feet
by practicing up to 7 hours a day.
He said, "It would be a miracle if I could
raise my hands in praise to God!"
