A Story In 25 Words: Unconditional Love

For God loved the world so much that 
He gave His one and only Son...
-John 3:16


It's the Holy Week again.

I think it's apt for me to share the 25-word story I wrote that showed God's unconditional love to His people.


A Story In 25 Words:


Unconditional Love

Bruised, beaten, betrayed, and broken.
Wounded, wronged.
Woebegone.
Crestfallen.
Desperate, deserted, hanged, and left to die.
Yet, He loved them until the end of time.
