And He withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and He knelt down and began to pray, saying, "Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done."

Imagine One who loves you more than life itself. His is a love that will do what it takes to set you free from that which enslaves you…When you stop to think about it, there is nothing greater than the fact of God's love in Jesus Christ. He gave up everything to gain the eternal best for you. Now, think about this. If He has gone to such great lengths to accomplish salvation, will He not go to any length to have you for His very own? No matter how far down you think you are, or how lost, no matter how dark your circumstance, you are never out of His reach. Will you fall before Him today and surrender yourself in every way to Him? If you will, then you are taking the first steps in that priceless privilege of knowing Him, experiencing Him firsthand. It is not just mere acquaintance, but a relationship of deep intimacy.
