For all the ways you’ve blown it. All the moments you’ve gone too far. Messed up one. too. many. times. You dear friend are the ONE he is looking for. You, you’re the one who receives grace upon grace. You, sweet girl, with your best effort can never outrun his love for you. Of all the sheep that need him, HE IS AFTER YOU! With tears pouring, I can’t even wrap my mind around how much he loves me... how much he loves YOU! Even an entire lifetime spent in his love will be only a mere glimpse of all that he is. Eternity awaits!

Lord, your relentless pursuit of me doesn’t go unnoticed. Even in my worse behavior or greatest distance, you Lord were chasing after me. If there is any other love like this, I’ve never known it.
By definition, it’s unconditional.
By pursuit, it’s relentless.
Over time, it’s steadfast.
In distance, it’s waiting.
In covenant, it’s wholehearted.
Your love supersedes all logic and common sense.
Thank you, oh Lord, for your love for me.
