It is hard to comprehend the self-sacrificial love of Jesus. Why would a perfect God care about something that is so broken? By choice we ruined what once was sacred and stained what once was clean. Looking out into our dark, crooked world, I can’t help but wonder,

“Was it all for nothing?”

But the more I think about it, the more I realise it was for that very reason he died; to heal the broken and save the lost. Christ bled his love so that we can taste his sweet mercy. Jesus chose me, knowing I might never love him back, might never understand or even care about his sacrifice. He loved me, and still loves me, even when I can't love myself. 

Love is never for nothing.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
