God sent his Son.
—Galatians 4:4
“The happiest day of my life,” said eighty-three-year-old Martha, “was the day I became engaged.”
“Do you remember why that brought you such happiness?”
“I think it was the realization that somebody really wanted me.”
That pretty much gets to the heart of things. It’s life-changing to be wanted.
No one has ever been more wanted than you.
If you want proof, you only need to look at what God and Jesus gave—and gave up—for you . . .
God gave his Son.
Jesus gave up heaven.
It should be the happiest day of your life when you realize how much you are wanted.
No price was too great, because heaven
wouldn’t be complete without you.
