For God So Loved the World, That He Gave His Only Son

John 3:16  “For God so loved the world, that He gave his only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have ETERNAL LIFE." ---- This is a popular scripture but one I feel that is most underminded. What I mean is, when I realised just how incredibly lucky we are that God is who He is!  Our creator. Because of Him we exist and our existence is in His hands!  I really had not realised how incredibly lucky we are that God is who He is - the most loving of All!  What if God were any less loving than He is or if He were anyone else?  His love is so endless, even less loving we'd still be in good care; and yet He loves us even more than we can ever imagine. We truly have no idea, even knowing this, the extent of how lucky we really are.  And it's sad how His love is so taken for granted!  I think of how, in general, society concentrates on everything except God; yet how often do most people stop to thank God for who He is and for giving us our very existence? And for forgiving our sins!  And for giving us Eternal Life through His greatest sacrifice for us all: His Son, Jesus our Lord, dying and suffering as we will never know (He bore the sins of all of humanity from Adam and Eve to the future, in addition to the torture He took)... Even if we thanked Him 24/7 it still wouldn't be the least bit enough.  When you really ponder how very lucky we are, it's just mind-boggling.  Just had to share my thoughts.  God bless you all.
