It's a love story

I once met a guy named Marc

I pursued him with my love, and pursued him with my love, until I felt my love captured his heart

So I asked him to be my boyfriend

and he said no

I was unrelenting and ask him again, pursuing him with my love, and I pursued him with my love

He still rejected me

I continued trying-I did not send my mother, nor did I send a friend. For in issues of love, you must go yourself.

This is the story of God: He pursued you with His love and pursues you with His love, and you have perhaps not said yes. And even if you reject His love, He pursues you ever still. It was not enough to send an angel or a prophet or any other, for in issues of love, you must go yourself. And so God has come.

In my story, I try pursuing the guy with all that I have, yet he still is un-captured by me and he rejects me so cruelly, I never see him again.

This however is the story of Jesus-God had walked among us and He pursues us with His love.
Though we reject Him many a time, find excuses to delay Him and compromise Him in so many ways, His love for us never ceases.

And He is here, even now, still pursuing you with His love.

Dear God

Dear God,

I sit here, in this moment, completely in awe of You. I look at You and my heart questions, how is it possible, none of it makes sense. Yet You still love… Moment after moment I’m amazed at how You love, at Your faithfulness to us. I cannot begin to comprehend it. You just love; You make things so simple for us to understand; all we need to do is love. There’s no complication to it. It’s so simple, so precise, so pure.

Yet we complicate things. We add the unnecessary, and remove the necessary. We get caught up in the chaos, we lose perspective and focus-we lose intention. In the end, some of us end up lost, end up confused and end up losing it-losing the love.

Through it all, You still stay the same. Your love for us never changes, Your plan for us never changes. Your faith in us is steadfast. You chose to see the hope in us, and you cheer us on each step of the way. Who else could possibly love us like this? Who else could possible care for us like this? Who else could possibly stick around through thick and thin; not judging, not complaining, but loving all the way through.

There’s no one else but You. Though I get scared at times, You tell me it’s ok. You look at me with this expression of pride and love, giving me so much confidence to push through. I feel so assured when I turn to You. You’re the best thing in my life. I’m so secured in You. I picture your hand holding mine, and I know I’m going to be fine-The Lord my God is here and He’s going to pull me through. I’m good, I’m safe and I’m loved-I lack nothing.

Thank You.
