I kind of understand!

So I HATE when people I care about make bad decisions...
Anybody who has talked deeper with me on this subject knows that it seriously HURTS me to watch people I love and care about make bad decisions.

I can honestly...with 100% of my heart say that if I had the option, I WOULD undergo physical pain for them to be able to take back some of their actions and all the repercussions of said actions.

I was praying more about this tonight and I realized that the first thing is how I make God feel so often. He loves me so much that it HURTS him when I don't follow his way (the best way) and when I do things that ultimately are harmful to myself and/or my spirit.
God loves us all so much...and hurts so badly for all of that...and wants to badly for our repercussion of said actions (HELL) to be taken away. That's why he sent his son to serve as himself in human form to undergo that pain and suffering so we could be free from our terrible, terrible ways. He saw all the awful things I was going to do and felt pain. He saw all the awful things people I love were going to do and how much it would hurt me...and he again felt pain. He saw what this world would end up and decided that he still loved us SO MUCH that he would undergo whatever pain necessary for us to be free from it and to not have to suffer because of our awful decisions.

This made me realize that my pain for my friends when they make/have made bad decisions is right! That love for them that makes me want to be able to make it go away is a tiny example of Christ's love for each of us!

Now I know I am nowhere NEAR able to offer the LOVE he has for us... but this tiny little glimpse of God's love and how it feels...it's just really nice.

HE LOVES US SO MUCH!
