Greatest Lover in the World
When I was in college I read one of Johnny Hart's panels showing two ants (apparently a pair) talking atop a wall. This is how their conversation goes:Girl ant: "Honey, do you love me?"
Boy ant: "Yeah, of course."
Girl ant: "Do you love me enough to die for me?"
Boy ant: "Yeah, why not?"
Girl ant: "Do you love me enough to die for me even if I weren't even born yet?"
Boy ant: "Isn't that asking too much from a guy?"
Girl ant: "I don't know, I just know someone who does."
Then the last panel shows that they are actually perched on a cross. (Oh, how I wish I could have that comic strip and post it here!)
That very simple comic strip says a lot of what I want to say here: there is an actual person who can love us more than what we can imagine. There is someone who can go the distance of loving us, to death, even if we aren't born yet. Now isn't that something to be grateful for?

Nice way to start my day, thanks!
I heard it once described this way by a missionary priest, something like this:
"There's one other human being in the world that I know loves me unconditionally. My sister loves me -- no matter what -- and I've said and done some pretty horrible things to her. She accepts me for all that I am...and all that I am not. Just think, that's how God loves you, but even more."
Wow.
