EXTREME LOVE

Excerpt from the PWOC newsletter I wrote in December.

It's here!

The time of year that we call Advent and celebrate the coming of our precious Savior to earth IN THE FLESH! Traditionally Advent also celebrates the coming of God's presence into our daily lives and looks ahead to the coming of our Lord at His second coming. This time of year is incredibly awesome to Christians. In all the hustle and bustle of the season do not let the "EXTREME" love of our Heavenly Father and His Son go unnoticed. Yes, EXTREME! Consider the EXTREME love of the Father. He sent His SON to REDEEM you back to Him (John 3:16). Consider the EXTREME love of the Son. "...though He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross." (Philippians 2:6-9) Consider the responsibility you now have to walk in EXTREME love. For you see, I skipped verse 5 of Philippians 2: "Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus". As you take time this season to reflect on the EXTREME love of the Father and Son....may your thankful heart well up with praise and overflow in humble, obedient service and EXTREME love for others.

May you find time this season to bask in His EXTREME love for you.
