Jesus was so wrapped up in the Father's love. In John 5:18-29 Jesus said, "For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself is doing; and the Father will show Him greater works than these, so that you will marvel."
And we do marvel at the wonderful works that Jesus did. He has given us new life in Him - a gift that we are only beginning to appreciate. ("Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.) We actually have the opportunity to pass out of a a stench permeated living death into a vibrant new life with Jesus.

And it is all because of the Father's love. How sad that so many do not understand that love because of absent or angry fathers in their life. But God's love in bigger and better and more creative than all our inadequacies. He can soften the hardest hearts with hugs from His love. His love is truly an ocean into which we have seen maybe one inch.
Lord, help us to relax and float in the ocean of Your love today. Help us to soak it in and wrap it around us until it is the essence of our whole existence.
