It all began with Love.
Love beheld our frame;
He looked upon our wretchedness and saw beauty.
He looked upon the hatred in our hearts,
And saw Love.
Said Love, "I will shower my affection upon my beloved";
Then Love gave
His most treasured possession
—His only Son.
So Love humbled Himself;
He minded not the frailty of our frame,
Nor the vainness of our nature.
But He robed Himself in flesh,
And came.
Love sent not an angel,
No, not even a cherub or seraph did He delegate.
He sent the best resource there ever was;
He came Himself.
Then Love took our hurt,
suffered our pain,
experienced our rejection,
endured our death on the Cross,
and paid for our sins.
So Love repaired the breach,
and atoned for our misdeeds;
Himself the Sacrifice,
and Himself the Priest.
Love broke our chains,
that we may experience the Father's Love
—undying, unbridled, and unrestrained.
Then Love returned in the Person of the Holy Spirit;
and Love stayed.
Love taught,
and Love played.
Love sought,
and Love found;
Here is Love
— Love Unbound.
