That is good news!

I've was reading in a book this morning called: "Believing Christ" by Stephen E. Robinson.  Fantastic read.  Easter is around the corner and it is a wonderful time to remember our Savior.  I want to quote something very powerful that I read this morning in his book:


"But why would You do this for me?
    Because I love you.
But it doesn't seem fair.
    That's right.  It's not fair all - it's merciful.
    It is, after all, a gift.
But how can I possibly deserve such a gift?
   Don't be silly.  You can't.  You don't.  This gift
   is offered because I love you and want to 
   help you, not because I owe it to you.
But how can I ever repay You?
   There you go again.  Don't you get it yet?
    You can't repay me, not you or all the billions
    like you.  Gifts of this magnitude can never
   be repaid.  For what I've done out of love for you,
    you can only love me back, and seek to become
    what I am - a giver of good gifts."
