We have to recognize something important today. God’s love. That’s what this whole entire week is really about. God’s immense love for each of us. He didn’t care about the outcome of his love for us, he loved us wholly, completely and went to the cross. It was an “I’m willing to die for you” love.
What does that feel like to take in? How does it feel to think about that big of a love? Overwhelming? Hard to understand? Confusing?
I think it can be all of these things. We can’t love to the intense depth that God does – he made love. He is love. But, today, I want you to try and sit in God’s love. Don’t try to push it away. Don’t let your shame or guilt or any other feelings get in the way of simply saying, “Jesus, you love me. I accept your gift.”
Let the love wash over you as you read these next lyrics and listen to Reckless Love by Cory Asbury.
[Verse 1]
Before I spoke a word, You were singing over me
You have been so, so good to me
Before I took a breath, You breathed Your life in me
You have been so, so kind to me
[Chorus]
O, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
O, it chases me down, fights ’til I’m found, leaves the ninety-nine
I couldn’t earn it, and I don’t deserve it, still, You give Yourself away
O, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God, yeah
[Verse 2]
When I was Your foe, still Your love fought for me
You have been so, so good to me
When I felt no worth, You paid it all for me
You have been so, so kind to me
[Chorus]
O, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
O, it chases me down, fights ’til I’m found, leaves the ninety-nine
I couldn’t earn it, and I don’t deserve it, still, You give Yourself away
O, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God, yeah
[Bridge]
There’s no shadow You won’t light up
Mountain You won’t climb up
Coming after me
There’s no wall You won’t kick down
Lie You won’t tear down
Coming after me
There’s no shadow You won’t light up
Mountain You won’t climb up
Coming after me
There’s no wall You won’t kick down
Lie You won’t tear down
Coming after me
There’s no shadow You won’t light up
Mountain You won’t climb up
Coming after me
There’s no wall You won’t kick down
Lie You won’t tear down
Coming after me
There’s no shadow You won’t light up
Mountain You won’t climb up
Coming after me
There’s no wall You won’t kick down
Lie You won’t tear down
Coming after me
