One thing I love more than just about anything, is when my nephew Jack declares with arms wide open, "I love you this much". It always melts my heart and makes me smile. I was remembering one such moment last night on my way to church, and it reminded me of someone else.
As Jesus' arms were stretched wide on the cross, with nails which should have been hammered into my wrists, I am reminded that He too is saying, "I love you this much". Enough to take my punishment, enough to take my place, enough to die the death I deserve. Thank you Jesus! May I be reminded of your love every time Jack stretches his little arms out wide.

A great analogy Don. We should remember just how much He loves us and praise Him.
