Distracted.

This is the reason for my lack of posts. I can't put it down and I already have another book of his to read after.

"The personal desolation Christ is experiencing on the cross is what you and I should be experiencing -- but instead, Jesus is bearing it, and bearing it all alone. Why alone? He's alone so that we might never be alone. He cries out to God, 'Why have You forsaken Me?' so that you and I will never have to make a similar cry. He was cut off from His Father so that we can boldly say, 'Nothing shall separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus.' He's forsaken so that we might be forgiven."
