Don't we all just love a nice love story? Romeo and Juliet, a classic for the ages. Titanic, highest-grossing movie of all time (if you account for inflation). Twilight (bleh), a hit among tweens. all these work, why? Because they all are centered around the theme of romance.
One of the most touching lines a person can say to his loved one is "I will die for you". This is best exemplified in the song "Grenade" by Bruno Mars. "I'll catch a grenad for you... I'll jump in front of a train for you.... etc. etc." Sacrifice is part and parcel of true love, dramas have told us as much.
However, how many times do we actually hear such incidents happen in real life? Well yes, Wendi Deng literally leapt to the defence of her husband Rupert Murdoch. But someone giving up his or her life for another? An organ maybe, but not so much a life.
All these just serve to show how much God truly loves us. John 3:16, we quote that verse so many times it is automatic, but do we realise just how significant that verse is? Jesus died on the cross, the worst kind of death possible. For us. Us mere mortals. Think about it.
If God can send His son to die on the cross for us, we can trust that He cares about every other aspect of our lives. Therefore, do not worry, for God will not leave you nor forsake you.
