God's love

Did you know that Jesus willingly gave up heaven to come to earth?  The riches and everything that He wanted to live as a refugee, die on the cross, and struggle with everything else that we might deal with in life.  If an earthly emperor lives in a place like this, can you imagine how much God loves us to give it up for us?  I'm amazed and encouraged as I look at this image now during my quiet times as it hangs over the couch.  He is a wonderful God.
