"Many people have come to believe through their contemplation that Jesus desires their friendship and companionship even more than they desire his."
This is part of the quote from William A. Barry in today's devotion. I am one of those people. I believe that one of the main functions of the cross is that it is God's "wooing" of us. Through showing the great extent of his love for us in this way, Jesus shows us that he would go to any length to be with us. To me, that is the core of the gospel. God has always wanted to be with us, but sin stood in the way. And so Jesus died to deliver us from sin, so that he might dwell with us for all eternity.
God is dying to be in relationship with you. What do you think of that?
