I was reading the summary for Book 12 of Paradise Lost, and it hit me how amazing it is that God continues to pursue us. He knew from the beginning, that when He created mankind, we would fail Him, and He would have to sacrifice His only Son for us. And no matter how hard we tried, we would never reach Him, without His Son. It also hit me how distructive pride is...satan's pride landed him and his followers in eternal hell...then he hated God so much he went after us. We who are loved eternally by Him, and are His perfect creation. We were the perfect target for satan's revenge. after thinking about this for awhile, i understood again, why in life, there is no middle ground. We are either for Him or against Him. When I sin, I crush God's heart....I let satan win, I give satan a small taste of victory against my Heavenly Father. Against my Savior, my Comforter, my Friend. how horrible.

Amazing Love, how can it be, that you my King, would die for me? Amazing Love, I know its true, and its my joy to honor You, in all I do, I honor You.

O Lord my God, When i in awesome wonder, consider all the worlds Thy hands have made; I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed. Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee, How great Thou art! How great Thou art! Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee, how great Thou art! How great Thou art!
And when I think that God, His Son not sparing, Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in; That on the cross my burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin. Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee, how great Thou art! How great Thou art! Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee, how great Thou art! How great Thou art!
