Frequently, my toddler Tyler and I will have these little fights that consist of me saying "I love you"! and him saying back "no, I love YOU! And then I'll say "NO! I love YOU"! "And he will say "No, I love you!" And sometimes I'll say "I love you MORE!" And it goes back and forth like that for a little while. I can't help but picture a fight like that between us and the Lord. It would go something like this: "Lord, I love you!" And He would say "No, I love YOU!" and we would say "NO, I love YOU!" And He would say "Well, I love YOU MORE"! And at that point we would have to throw up our hands and say:
"Ok, Lord, you win."
"God demonstrates His own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
