Michael Harrison's e-devotion

  When we come to know how much God loves us, our life will change.  It changes how we see ourselves and how we see others.  It changes how we worship God and even how we believe what He says. Psalm 86:5  NLT   For you, Lord, are kind and ready to forgive, abounding in faithful love to all who call on you. Read this song is by Cory Asbury “ Reckless Love”   Before I spoke a word, You were singing over me You have been so, so good to me Before I took a breath, You breathed Your life in me You have been so so kind to me   Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God Oh, it chases me down, fights 'til I'm found, leaves the 99 And I couldn't earn it I don't deserve it, still You give yourself away Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God   When I was Your foe, still Your love fought for me You have been so, so good to me When I felt no worth, You paid it all for me You have been so, so kind to me…   There's no shadow Y...

I am grateful that pursues us, always loves us and there is so much more to God’s love than we know.  The more we realize God loves us the easier it is to really love God.  In turn is is easier to love others.   Romans 5:5  NLT And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.   God’s love for us is characterized in some incredible ways through the Bible … endless, hard to understand, unconditional, strong, unmatched by anything or anyone else …  That is who our God is.  That is why we must go deeper in the truth and facts of God’s love.   The song Reckless Love speaks this truth very well.  Check out these lyrics:   Before I spoke a word, You were singing over me You have been so, so good to me Before I took a breath, You breathed Your life in me You have been so, so kind to me   Oh, the o...

Cory Asbury’s song  Reckless Love has some pieces that many people cannot get out of the head.  Better yet it might be that God has allowed those words and the truth it conveys to travel deep in to their hearts. There's no shadow You won't light up Mountain You won't climb up Coming after me There's no wall You won't kick down Lie You won't tear down Coming after me There's no shadow You won't light up Mountain You won't climb up Coming after me There's no wall You won't kick down Lie You won't tear down Coming after me That part of the song talks about being pursued by God.  Go back to something you might have read years ago, as I did, in Henry Blackaby’s book  Experiencing God where he says that God is pursuing a love relationship with us. That is good stuff. Understand this is not like being stalked.  That is the opposite.  Some people pursue others for all the wrong reasons.  God pursues us for all the ...
