When David sings about God’s “unfailing love,” he uses a Hebrew word that implies God is in loving pursuit of us. Yahweh chases after us with such persistent grace that he refuses to let us get away. His pursuit is energized by his compassion, not only feeling what we feel, but also with the intent to help us: “He has not punished us for all our sins, nor does he deal with us as we deserve. For his unfailing love toward those who fear him is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth.” (Psalms 103:10–11, NLT) (April 4, 2008 - In Pursuit Of Fairness - Daily Devotional)
Wow! How awesome is that, that the God who created the heavens and the earth, lovingly pursues you and me with persistent grace. The most amazing thing about it is that we did nothing to deserve it and nothing we can do will ever be enough to deserve God's love. But he loves us anyway. Awesome!
- I am constantly amazed at this God I serve and so thankful that he pursued me and pulled me out of the pit of hell.
- I am so amazed at the trust I have learned to give, that has not been broken.
- I am so amazed at the healing he brought into my heart.
- I am so amazed that he cares, really cares, about the details.
- I am so amazed with the blessings I have.
- I am so amazed at the growth in my life.
- I am so amazed at the miracles I see in those around me.
- I am so amazed that I am a valuable and precious daughter of my lord, Jesus Christ.
You are amazing God and I love you with everything that I am and all that I have within me.
