More Crazy Love
As I was reading my Crazy Love book I was struck by a sentence on page 60. "So why, when we constantly offend Him and are so unlovable and unloving does God persist in loving us? " I spent the afternoon on Monday at the hospital. A dear girl, that I know loves God, made some poor decisions. A mixture of alcohol and drugs was still working their way from her system, the consequences of this action are greatly affecting her immediate and long term life plans. However, I still see a loving God, protecting and pursing His child. As I work to remind her of this immense love, I recognize the undeserved love I also receive, and poorly reciprocate. I may not be making the huge self destructive mistakes of this young girl, but my attention at times to my spiritual life is almost an afterthought. It made me think, Am I offending God? I probably put more time and effort into my earthly relationships, making sure I don't offend those around me, but I never thought about offending God. And yet I feel his love and His pursuit of me, I am so grateful for this Crazy Love that God has for me!
