“With arms outstretched and nail-pierced hands, Jesus is saying, ‘This is how much I love the world. This is how much I love the atheists, secularists, Democrats, and Republicans. And this is how much I love Muslims, Jews, Hindus, and Buddhists. I love them so much it hurts. I love them so much, I’d rather die than live without them.'” – Rick Warren
I often wonder why my father has blessed me so. I wonder why he's done so much for me, when I have done nothing in return but be selfish and self centered. I do not deserve his love, yet it is given solidly, relentlessly, unconditionally, and it is undeserved. I can't fathom that kind of love. I wish I could love like that. I do love, but I am too selfish to love like that, and that makes me a failure…as a man, a person, a husband, a father, and as a witness. I am truly sad about how I am. I can only hope that eventually….. my selfishness wont cloud the way that is shown to me
