God's Love

God loves us so intensely, passionately, and completely that he sacrificed his only Son. He didn't even require that of Abraham. To be loved so much in this grossly imperfect state is something I only dimly realize. Even that dim realization is enough to bring me to tears. I wonder if the real reason we can't look at the face of God as we are is because facing His perfect love would make us so aware of our imperfect selves, we would be die from that knowledge.
