God's Amazing Grace

I came across this quote today. It is from the preface to Calvin Miller’s book Once Upon A Tree

"Again and again I ask myself what binds his dying to my living. The only answer is love—undeserved and unfailing: I need him. It is as if I open my thin wallet and find it gorged with the treasuries of God. At the cross, my need meets his generosity. But why should my need be of any concern to God? Why should it forge the very nails that held him to the wood? Looking upward, I realize I am being stalked by God’s passionate and illogical love. I cannot lay aside my need for him, and he is incapable of laying aside his love for me.”
