As we enjoy and enter in To all He is then we’ll begin To understand the feeling in His heart toward us. What love that motivated Him To come to us, despite our sin Why did He go and sell all that He had?

I love this hymn. It moves me to tears. The last stanza reminds me that God became incarnate that we may become partakers of the divine nature. (2 Peter 1:4). Thank You Lord for loving us and dying to make us Your masterpiece and bride.
Thank You Lord for choosing us to satisfy Your yearning to share all that You are! Strengthen us to constantly open to You to receive Your dispensing, Amen!
Looking away unto Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, who FOR THE JOY SET BEFORE HIM endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down on the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2
