God is enthusiastically fervent
in His pursuit of us... using love to capture our restless heart. His love is
compelling: It heals us, stripping away our pretense in restoration. His love
is enthralling: It captivates and commands us to be the same... to be loving.
His love is overwhelming: It is designed to overwhelm all things, especially
fear, shame, and low self esteem. His love is comforting: He rejoices over us
with singing... lullabies of love, to quiet our worrisome heart. His love is faithful: His faithfulness
abounds beyond our faithlessness... He simply cannot deny His love for us. His
love is compulsive: He passionately seeks those who seek Him... drawing them
like a human magnet... allowing them to find Him, and rewards their diligence
by lavishing pouring His love into their heart. His love is prodigal...
wastefully extravagant: He abundantly and profusely lavishes His love on His
undeserving children. His love is unconscionable... irrational: His love exceeds the rational limits of human
reason. His love is sacrificial... outrageous and shockingly sacrificial: He
gave His Beloved Son for love of a world that hates Him. His love is
consistently constantly constant: When we do good He approves of us and when we do bad He accepts us... His love is never affected by our performance. His
love is passionate... a consuming fire overwhelming every willing heart in its
path. Love is not simply God’s choice... love is His nature... God is Love. His love is the first Fruit of His Spirit...
the fruit from which all the other fruit of the Spirit flows. His love is
scandalous... outrageous and shocking, to the natural mind, and never more than
one heartfelt “yes” away...
God loves us with a perfect love...
an everlasting love... a relentless love... an unquenchable, insatiable,
immeasurable, inexhaustible, irrepressible, irrational, unshakeable, inescapable,
unmovable, constantly constant unchanging love. There is nothing we can do to make Him love
us more, and nothing we can do to make Him love us less. God loves us 100%... all the way... all the
time! He doesn’t love us for what we do
- thank God - He loves us for who we are... His children.
AS WE BEHOLD HIM...
WE BECOME LIKE HIM...
