Amazing love

Somewhere, on a cool winter night, a song fillls the air. A sweet, soft, joyful call. It echoes throughout the trees, by the waters, up the mountains and in the heart of every rescued captive.
It's a filling cry.
A warm cry.
A cry that makes you shiver and tickle on the inside.
It's what positions the stars in perfect spots. It's what urges the seeds to reach for the clouds. What keeps the sun beaming, the clouds flittering, the birds chirping.
It's what keeps all of nature in perfect balance. God's love is the backbone of all of nature. His love is indescribable;perfect;amazing. God expressed his amazing love in the only way He knew; He gave life.
He created the perfect paradise with a paintbrush and paint. He gave the ability to think, to breath, to run. He gave us all of the world to enjoy for ourselves. But, because of our pride and our selfishness and our ignorance, we took God's amazing love and we destroyed it. We dirtied our hands and blistered our feet.
We distanced ourselves by thousands of miles. This made God very sad. His children would be forever locked in chains. But, it didn't end there. He humbled himself and took the form of a stinky, filthy human. He died on a cross on top of a hill and all of God's wrath was weighed on his shoulders. He broke the chains of sin with his blood. There was nothing left.
No wrath.
No guilt.
No sorrow.
God's children were free.
Forgiven.
