Reckless Love of God

 

“When I use the phrase ‘the reckless love of God,’ we’re not saying that God himself is reckless. He’s not crazy. We are, however, saying that the way He loves is, in many regards, quite so. What I mean is this. He’s utterly unconcerned with the consequences of his actions with regards to His own safety, comfort and well-being. His love isn’t crafty or slick, it’s not cunning or shrewd. In fact, all things considered, it’s quite childlike, might I even suggest sometimes downright ridiculous. His love bankrupted heaven for you, for me. His love doesn’t consider Himself first, it isn’t selfish or self-serving. He doesn’t wonder what He’ll gain or lose by putting Himself on the line. He simply puts Himself out there on the off chance that you and I will look back and give Him that love in return.

His love leaves the 99 to find the one every time. To many practical adults, that is a foolish concept. ‘Well, what if He loses the 99 to find the one?’ Right? What if? Finding that lost sheep is, and will always be, supremely important.

His love is not cautious. It is love that sent His Own Son to die a gruesome death on a cross. There is no plan B with the Love of God. He gives His heart so completely, so preposterously, that if refused, we would think it irreparably broken. Yet, He gives Himself away again and again and again and again; time and time again. Make no mistake, Our sins do pain His heart. And, 70 x 7 is a lot of times to get your heart broken. Yet, He opens up and allows us back in every single time. His love saw you when you hated Him and all logic said, ‘they will reject me’. He said, ‘no, I don’t care what it cost Me. I lay my life on the line, as long as I get their hearts.’

 To make it personal "His love saw me, a broken down kid with regret as deep as the ocean; My innocence and youth poured out like water. Yet, He saw fit to use me for His kingdom because He’s just that kind. I didn’t earn it and I sure as heck don’t deserve it, but He’s just that good. Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God"

The wedding dress {Book}

I’ve just finished reading this marvellous book and I’m still feeling goosebumps all over me.

The very first book I read about this genre, Christian romance, I just expected a proper romance, without long kisses or tight hugs. Well, that was my vision about it but all my thoughts changed with the very first book I read The Secret of Pembrooke Park by Julie Klassen which I’m totally convinced that I will re-read this book again. The same way will happen with Undeniablyyours by Becky Wade. I let you both links if you want to know more about these books, but I was so thrilled as I am now. The last thing I was expecting from a Christian romance book is that it got me so into it. I loved those two books as I love this last one I’ve read.

The moving finger {Book}

It wasn’t a secret that the book I was going to read was about Miss Marple. What surprised me, a lot I dare say, it that this Miss Marple wasn’t the female main character. Not at all! No whatsoever. As a matter of fact, Miss, dear, Marple is almost at the end of the story and that made me ask myself ‘what on earth is going on with Agatha? Really? At the end of her story? What for?’ Well… I think it’s a bummer because Miss Marple is in there just to jump to conclusions, secretively of course, and then tell us what was going on with the murder. But the burden of the investigation was on other shoulders!

My Blessings [2019]

Thank you god for all the things you did for me, for us this year, whether I was aware of them or not, for I know that my sight can’t go any further as a human being. But I’m sure you were working all this year protecting us. Your hand never went away.

I’d have liked to write down all the things you did for me, but I don’t remember all of them because I didn’t write them down at the beginning (although that is something I’m going to remedy soon. I bought a notebook for this new year)

My readings (2019)

 Welcome, welcome my dears. It’s December (yes,”dear” we saw that already) I know it was really obvious; I just wanted to make an introduction...
