Day 4 of Advent - Ann Voskamp's book, The Greatest Gift
Today's notes:
Gen. 6:8 "Noah found favor with the LORD."
God feels our pain. God suffers when we suffer. Gen. 6:6 says that "His heart will filled with pain."
"Time only continues on in this impossibly suffering world because God Himself is willing to keep suffering the impossible with us."
"Christ comes like an ark, like a cradle over floods. And we read the headlines and wonder, If there's a God who really cares, He'd look at this world and His heart would break. And God looks to the Cross, that real Tree, and says, 'My heart did.'"
"Heaven comes down so we can rise"
*all quotes from Ann Voskamp and the Bible
