I have a question.
This one thanks to a dear friend who challenged me to fall asleep last night thinking about Jesus, and miracles…
Jesus spared Himself no pains while He was here, to relieve the sufferings of humanity. And He spares no pains today to relieve the sufferings of sinners. To me, miracles are one of the ways He says “I love you” most profoundly. They are proof of His power, proof of His authority, proof of His fidelity and infinity…
Gifts of Grace.
But have you ever stopped to ask yourself if miracles cost Him anything?
–If the gift of life He gave back to Jairus’ daughter, or the widow’s son, was in fact a measure of His own?
Eternal and Creative as He is after all, it seems like He could give without losing. But is that giving?
Maybe He always filled others by pouring out Himself.
And maybe… He still does.
You think?

Wow! Thank you for that thought. It seems very likely. I never thought of His little gifts to me costing Himself. It makes me even more grateful for is matchless love!
