He chose the nails (St. Francis de Sales / Max Lucado)

God has, in his wisdom, foreseen from eternity
the cross that he now presents to you
as a gift from his inmost heart.

 --St. Francis de Sales 

He knew the price of those sins was death.
He knew the source of those sins was you.
And since he couldn’t bear
the thought of eternity without you, 
he chose the nails. 

--Max Lucado
