Immense and free



"He left His Father’s throne above— 
So free, so infinite His grace—
Emptied Himself of all but love,
And bled for Adam’s helpless race:
’Tis mercy all, immense and free,
For, O my God, it found out me!"
- Charles Wesley (And can it be?)

These words from this well known hymn are packed with pictures of God incredible love and grace. The more you read the words the more they overwhelm you with gratitude. Jesus emptied himself of everything so that we would be the recipients of God's treasures. 

God is constantly seeking us out. God wants to find us - and not so that he can reprimand us, but to cover us with his immense mercy.

Exodus 33:19 - The Lord replied, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and I will call out my name, Yahweh, before you. For I will show mercy to anyone I choose, and I will show compassion to anyone I choose.

Living in Grace
