Jesus showed us the unconditional love of God. We, in turn, are called to demonstrate His love to everyone, from the most violated victim to the vilest criminal.<\/p>\n

I suffer, and multiply it a billion times
And fail to reach the height of your suffering<\/pre>\nI love, and multiply it a trillion times
And fail to reach the depth of your love.<\/pre>\nI consider the infinite
And fail to reach the beginning of your thoughts<\/pre>\nOh Lord! How can I grasp the fullness of your love?
Or reckon the cost?<\/pre>\nWhere do I start?<\/pre>\nBehold! Each soul is priceless\u2026<\/em><\/pre>\n\u201cBut God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.\u201d Romans 5:8<\/b><\/h2>\n

<\/strong><\/span>The majesty of God boggles the mind. The heights and depths of our human experience are so far removed from His boundless splendor. Love Incarnate came and died on the cross for our sins, and we\u2019re called to exemplify His love to
a fallen world. But, it\u2019s only by the Spirit that we behold His presence\u2026and are molded for His service.<\/p>\nFor Further Study<\/strong>
