In His love. I can't understand it. He who spoke each star and calls them by name. He who formed the mountains in His hand. He has a deep interest in me who stands here one moment awkward, the next rebellious, the next embarrassingly stupid. Unconditional love? I just can't fathom it. People are always misusing the term. People always have conditions, whether they realize it or not. Sometimes conditions so far outside the bounds of plausible circumstances - but still there. Ask people who know me and chances are, you'll find one or two who would be eager to tell you that I haven't a single redeeming quality. Maybe they'd be eager to tell you if you didn't ask. As far as I can tell, the attitude of that person towards me would be a far cry from loving. But the thing is, on my own merit, I don't have a single redeeming quality against God's standard. Gomer is my name yet He loves me still.
How then shall I love You? As gracious provider? Or mighty defender? As sovereign Lord? As Father or Brother? As friend or lover? Someone once answered this question with a simple "yes." May I never neglect new facets or You.
