God so loved the world that he descended into it.
He was willing to suffer the vessels fitted for destruction,
that the holy vessels may have an example to follow.
His arrival was anticipated by the rulers of the world;
in the hope of stopping Him,
they killed all young children two and under
He descended from above unto a world spiritually in darkness;
He became a shining light unto others
bringing hope of a better calling, a surety of a deeper purpose.
His disciples fanned out far and wide, moved by the passion of his Holy Spirit;
they willfully endured scorn, scoffing, murder, and persecution.
God so loved the world,
seeing its inevitable demise,
he willfully loved us, in spite of ourselves
We altogether have fallen,
having chosen the pleasures of this world for a short season,
rather than the separation of our spirit from this world
He drew us out of many waters;
and he inscripted us in turn, to stand, endure, give witness, and be His instruments.
The Lord is His name;
He is the ruler of Heaven and Earth;
and true love itself.
