God's love is beyond our ability to
comprehend. We cannot begin to fathom the purity of His love, for any love of
ours is tinged with selfishness...we want love back; unrequited love is but the
stuff of melancholy country songs.
Yes,
God wants our love, but He continues to give love to us even if we do not allow
ourselves to be the recipient of His tender inclination toward us.
God
loves us, and Christ's propitiatory death in our behalf was for the sins of all
people--even if all people turn their backs upon His "unspeakable
gift."
And it is the kindness of His love that woos
the sinner by the power of His Holy Spirit, compelling the one who is lost in
sin to come out of the darkness of sin's bleak night into the glorious light of
salvation's bright day.
Not
condemnation. Not fear. Not my own striving. It's the kindness of a Loving
Father that gives me the strength to make the right decision.
