"Mommy, I love you THIS much!" While holding their little arms as wide as they can. My kids are big fans of this statement. They will come up to me and say it, then look at me expectantly until I say it back. Inevitably, we end up hugging, because our arms are just poised for it!
I was thinking about this the other day after Baby Girl ran up to me, and we exchanged "I love you". Do you of another person who loves us "THIS much"? Of course our parents, our spouses, friends maybe, and family, but anyone else?
There is one person who loved us so much He died for us, with His arms outstretched.

It is no wonder we are told to have the faith of a child. Only a child could so innocently see the symbolism and truly love us "THIS much"!
Christ died for us, with his arms outstretched, and will gladly welcome us home the same way!
