Oh, 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
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God, yeah"
"Reckless Love" was played in chapel the other day and as these lyrics came across the screen tears began to come down my face. I was convicted and reminded of the love God pours out to me everyday. I thought about Him dying on the cross for me, and sacrificing His life so I could live a life eternal with Him. He saved me from my sins. That is true love. Even when there are days I fail, and I sin, He is still right there beside me to catch me. I don't deserve any of it, but He loves me and thinks I do deserve it. His love is never ending, never failing, overwhelming, and reckless. I was determined to draw my self closer to the Lord after that chapel and to know more of who He is and what He has done for me. I am reminded everyday of how thankful I am to be loved by such a loving and forgiving God. An almighty God, who died for each and every one of us.
"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"
Coming after me
There's no wall You won't kick down
Lie You won't tear down
Coming after me"
This part also made me think because there is nothing that stops God from coming after us and helping us through any trial and struggle we are going through in our life. He knows our heart and He loves us, so keep fighting on and keep searching the Lord. Stay close to Him and never let Him go because He cares for you and wants to have a close relationship with you. I have seen in my darkest and most challenging days the Lord work in me and show me a lot. I have learned a lot through the trials in my life and it has made me the person I am today. It has also made me closer to the Lord through those trials in my life. Never let Him go and always stay close to the Lord.
