>God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save 
>the world through him.
>--John 3:17
>New International Version
>
>THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
>How do you view God? Is he someone looking for a way to condemn you? Is he 
>an out-of-touch old man who doesn't really know what it's like in our 
>modern world? Is he too holy to soil himself with the concerns of mere 
>mortals and has left it up to us to work everything out for ourselves? No. 
>NO. NO! God chose to enter our world and experience it from the side of 
>mortality. God chose to enter our world, not to condemn us, or it, but to 
>redeem it. Jesus is the great reminder that God longs to save us, not 
>judge us. Thank God for God! Thank God for Jesus who was God with us.
>
>MY PRAYER...
>Holy and Heavenly God, thank you that you live with those who are contrite 
>and repentant and who long for your presence. You know we are only mortal, 
>but you love us. You know that we are flawed, but you redeemed us. You 
>know that we are not perfect, but you sent Jesus as the perfect sacrifice 
>to save us. Thank you. Through my Savior I offer my sincerest gratitude 
>and praise. Amen.
