What Wondorous Love

Recently I was listening to the Steve Petitt Team's song O Wonderous Love, and man it really hit me just how great God's love really is. Think about it a completely holy God, free from all sin, loving me enough to pardon all my sin, and not only that, but making me His own son. Adopting someone, but for the blood of Christ that is covered in the one thing that He cannot abide. O truely what wonderous love. Not only did He choose to love me, but He continues to do so, no matter what I do, what a truely humbling thought. I can never run from God's love. In Psalm 23:6 it says that His love pursues us, the idea being that of a hunting dog chasing after its prey. He loves me enough to chase after me, even after he has already paid for my life. Its not that He is chasing me as an ecscaped slave to return him to service, but it is a chase that is motivated out of love to see His child be next to Him once again. God's love will not let me go, what a wondrous thought, no matter how far I stray in attempt to replace the God with vain and empty pleasures of the very sin He has forgiven me of, His love will always be there calling me back to His side. Patiently He will call and lovingly wait for me, His erring child, to return. There is nothing that can now condemn me, not in heaven nor on earth, for Christ love has wonderously covered all my sin. O how I betray that love!! O how great my sin is, one who has been forgiven so much and one who has benefited so much from Go's endless love and yet I give it such little value. My ever changing fancies are put in front of my unchanging God, o how little I esteem the love of God. O God, change my heart!! Let me truely say with the songwriter "Sin with its follies I gladly resign!" What are you doing about God's boundless love? Have you accepted the forgiveness He offers for your sins? If you have, how do you repay the God that loves you so? Let His love drive you to His face and to His side!
