True Hero

Check out this touching video from CBS News of a true hero. (Haven't figured out yet how to put the video directly onto a posting.)
Warning: Contains some disturbing footage.

This story makes me think of how our Heavenly Father loves us, unconditionally, even with all of our faults and sins. As bad as we look to Him and as helpless as we are, He accepts us even though it cost Him everything. Jesus left a comfortable place in heaven, experienced all the things we experience here on earth, and suffered a horrible death that He did not deserve. Why? Love for His Heavenly Father, and love for His children. You. Me. Us.

Scott Southworth is a true hero here on earth. What a witness to the world! May we all be heartbroken to love the unlovable.
