I have heard the song "Reckless Love" many times before, but this weekend I actually listened to the words. In that song we sing, "I couldn't earn it, and I don't deserve it, still, You give yourself away. Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God." "When I felt no worth, You paid it all for me. You have been so, so kind to me." God's reckless love for us never ceases. There have been so many times I confessed to myself, to God, to others that I was not worthy of being in this place. I didn't deserve, or earn for that matter, to be loved by my family, my friends, our God. It's not a statement to say "poor me" it was a real feeling of not being worthy. "When I was Your foe, still Your love fought for me." I am a sinner. I don't always do the right things. I don't always say the right things. I challenge God by not living the right life sometimes. I take for granted my blessings. I don't give thanks for what I have in search of all the things I don't. Yet, God continues to chase me down. He knows where I am headed even before I get there. He is there in the dark; He is there in the light. He was there when my babies were born. He was there when my wife said I do. He was there when I fell, when I quit, when I cried, when I laughed, when I succeeded, when I wasn't. He was there even when I said go away. He will be there when I can't be, and He will be there when all I need is Him and when I am too afraid to say so. I know I can't earn it, but still He is there. We are blessed in that. We are redeemed in that. I know I don't deserve it, yet we are given His grace for no reason… No reason! Just because we are His if we want to be… "Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God."
Have a blessed week all!
Believe in the Unbelievable that is YOU and my prayer for you today is that you realize that God is never going to stop pursuing you. He is never going to stop loving and chasing you down. He is never going to stop looking for your heart, your mind, your soul. He is and always will be reckless for us, and for that We should be thankful.
