John 3:17 "For God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him."
I am obsessed with watching doggie rescue videos on Facebook. I cannot get enough of seeing people save dogs from a dangerous or cruel situation and love them into a happy life. They are at once painful to watch and yet have such joyous conclusions. I love a happy ending.
The common denominator with all the rescuers is that they all start with a recognition of suffering, have great patience, and do the rehabilitaion work with love. Most of the dogs experience a profound physical and behavioral change. They learn to trust and be loved.
I think these videos speak to me because they are about saving a being who cannot same themselves. Isn't that exactly what Christ does for us. Before yielding to His saving grace we are trapped, in pain, and broken. Then He reaches down to rescue us with patience, mercy, and unconditional love. This is the happiest ending of all.

What a beautiful thought to think we are saved like the dogs in these rescue videos. Christ is our safety and provides us with the grace to grow and thrive. I love this analogy. Thank you =)
