imagine this.

you have a best friend.

best friend is always there.

but you take best friend for granted.

but best friend doesn't mind.

cos he's your best friend.

and you know you can count on him.

but how much do you know about HIM.

all your conversations usually involve you talking about yourself and yourself only.

hardly talks about himself, cos he's just there to lend an ear.

so while you were going out, say, for ice cream or something.

and this huge trolly full of loaded boxes just comes charging at you.

then all of a sudden, you feel a shove. and you were knocked off your feet.

landing on the ground, you don't realise what just happened.

you stand up to realise that your best friend is lying motionless under a pile of boxes.

then you start to think.

"he pushed me away. he saved my life. he took MY place. i'm supposed to be crushed under those boxes."

then you realise how much he can love you, as a best friend. with worldly desires and worldly weaknesses and sins.

but if he, can willingly push you away to safety, while he takes the fall for you, can love you so much,

what more can our Daddy in heaven do for us.

Daddy's free from desires, free from sin, and loves you with all His heart. he can give you anything you want.

anything you desire.

and, refering to the story, that would hurt you alot, to see your best friend lying there.

what more would followers of Christ feel, standing at the foot of the cross.

and, Daddy planned all this to happen. He turned His back on His OWN son. His ONLY son. to be left hanging on the

cross.

He turned his back on his son, so that we can face Him. and call Him father, daddy, abba.

and Jesus cried "My GOD My GOD, why have you forsaken me?"

He cried "my GOD" so that we can cry "My FATHER." or "DADDY."

Jesus broke that barrier.

i don't know how this is related to the story but its just hitting me.


this may not make sense to you at all. but its an awesome revelation. wow.

thats all for me. just wanted to share abit.
