How To Love

i never thought of how it could have been. 
i never imagined how it would be.

all i know is that i am grateful that 
my lord did not come down from the cross

i know that if he did the evil one would have won and we would have been destroyed 
by Fear, Cynical, Decrepit,Grimace,Grotesque, & Repulsiveness.

we would have been savages
slaves to something unexplainable.

this world as we know it would have been destroyed.
our ancestors would have been killed 
& life as we know today would not exist..

so looking at the life we have 
the life that was given to us 
threw the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus 
i am grateful that he stayed on the cross 
& took my sins & freed my soul 
and taught me the most important 


        HOW TO LOVE...

Yes, the unconditional love. He became sin so that we will be saved. That was the reason God turned away his face from him, for our lord became our sins. God bless.
