He Saw You

I read an article which I believe will warm our hearts. I've copied it below. Read and ponder on it.

Once, before the foundation of the world, Jesus and His Father had a conversation about the great plan of redemption. That conversation included you. Jesus looked down the corridors of time and knew that you would be born. He saw your needs when He said to His Father, "I will go." At the Father's appointed time, Jesus came to earth so that you would never need to be far from Him. What an incredible journey He made; what an overwhelming expression of love He made; what an awesome purpose He had in mind. You were on His heart. When He left His home in heaven, He saw you; when He became a man on earth, He was seeking you; when He stretched out His hands upon the cross, He was reaching out to you; when He returned to His Father, He was preparing a place for you. You are the sheep He has come to shepherd, to guide, to feed, to protect, to shelter and to carry. You are the one He calls His own.

Isn't it nice to reflect on these words? May the true meaning of the Lenten season be realized by each one of us and thus usher us to have a grateful heart to the One who loves us.
