This is real love.
It is not that
we loved God, but
that he loved us
and sent his Son
as a sacrifice to
take away our sins.
I read this incredible story about a mother who was trapped by a prairie fire while carrying her baby on her back. The wildfire was moving so fast that the woman came to realize that there was no escape. Quickly taking the baby off of her back, she began digging a hole in the ground with her bare hands. She then placed her child into the hole and covered the hole and child with her body. Later, when the field was being searched, this woman was found dead, but the child was alive. I truly believe that every loving mother would do the same for her children. This kind of love is a physical reflection of the source of love: God. "For God so loved the world that he gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16).” If you're looking for what real love looks like, look no further.
