Often I pray and wonder if I am worthy. Many days I do not feel that I deserve to be forgiven. I ask the eternal question so many must often ask, why did he die for me? In a moment of peaceful clarity I came to understand what exactly I am to him and why he died for me. When all of creation was given unto him, I was his greatest creation. I was made to honor him and live in his service. Sin separated us for a while then he saw I needed saving, so he gave up his throne, riches and  honor to live as I lived. When he had done what he came to do, he underwent the ultimate suffering and shame. In that moment he showed his eternal love for what he had created and that is why he died for me.
