Reckless Love

"There’s no wall You won’t kick down

Lie You won’t tear down

Coming after me


Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God

Oh, it chases me down, fights ‘til I’m found, leaves the ninety-nine

I couldn’t earn it, I don’t deserve it, still You give Yourself away

Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God"

- Bethel Music


I sang these lyrics this morning through tears. God LOVES me. There is nowhere that I can go that He won't pursue me with abandon. He wants ME to be with Him, in His presence, no matter the cost to Him, even death. 

But this amazing love which I'm so thankful that He pours out on me, isn't the reason I was in tears.
I was weeping, tears streaming down my face, because God also loves the mothers of my girls, and they don't know it. They have access to all of the heavenly power of the Almighty God, yet their eyes are set elsewhere. 

This powerful, overwhelming love that tears down lies to build me up, that kicks down walls to bring me close, they don't know that love. If you've heard this song before, you are likely one of the 99. You are HIS. That is glorious and worth celebrating. 

But then there is the ONE. I want the Church's heart to break for those people who don't understand the limitless love of God. God's love is powerful and redemptive, it is healing and restorative. And I want everyone to experience His love in a way that wrecks their world. 

I want addicts to experience God's powerful sustenance. 

I want prostitutes to experience God's family through Church community. 

I want abusers to experience God's reckless forgiveness. 

I want murderers to experience God's overwhelming grace. 

I want those broken by unimaginable pain to experience God's restoration. 

I want everyone to experience God's reckless love. Period. 

I want God's love to reach to every hurting person. To transform their lives and bring them into a place of love and joy and peace. REGARDLESS OF THEIR PAST. 

There is no wall He won't kick down, no lie He won't tear down, He's coming after THEM. He's coming after ME. He's coming after US, because at the end of the day, it is not an us and a them. We are all sinners. None of us deserve Him. NONE of us, but we are all in need of His love and forgiveness and grace every day. 

I am praying that God's reckless love reaches the ends of the earth, and that each person in the Church steps up to make that possible.
