There was a blind girl who hated herself because of being blind. Not only did she hate herself but she hated everyone else, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her.
She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her boyfriend.
One lucky day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. She then saw everything, including her boyfriend. Her boyfriend then asked her, "Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?"
She was SHOCKED when she saw that her boyfriend was blind too. She said, “I am sorry but I can't marry you because you are blind and it will be too hard.”
Her boyfriend walked away with tears streaming down his face and said, "Please just take care of my eyes.”
This story reminded me of how much Jesus loved us and went to the cross for us. When a person truly loves you, no sacrifice is beyond triumph. Everything is possible.
That's exactly how God, our heavenly Father who is overwhelmed with love for us. After all, each of us were created out of His own perfect hands. He never intended any of us to be lost to eternal death. He will do anything, to the extent of dying our death to ensure each of us returned to His loving arms. He wanted back every of His beloved children.
For the sacrifices He has made, Jesus will be very broken hearted each time we sinned, ignorant of all He has done for us. Each time we sin, it's like telling Him point blank at His face that His sacrifices meant nothing to us.
Like the true lover in the above story who sacrificed his eyes for his lover, with the hope of marrying her, our God and Saviour Jesus sacrificed His life to die our death, hoping we will turn around for Him and lived!
Our God and Saviour made a solemn plea to us in Ezekiel 18:32, I don't want you to die, says the Sovereign Lord. Turn back and live!
I pray our heavenly Father in His Son Jesus Christ, our Saviour sent the Holy Spirit to help us open our hearts to Him so that we can find His strength in us to turn around and let Him heal us.
