THE one and most important gift. From The Man. A gift to be humbled by. A gift to cause shame. To cause repentence. To feel sorrow for what I have done. For everything. None of us is worthy. Especially me. Especially you. Someone died for us. Paid for us and our foolish, sinful ways. Paid in full. Paid in blood. He paid for some minuscule, nothing people... like tadpoles in a puddle... simply because His Father asked him to.

His love is warm, and all-embracing. By Him carrying our sins for us--sins that damage the soul, that weigh us down, that poison the most perfect things--His love is shown. Why make His load even heavier?
