We have One who loves us unconditionally; One who cares about us more than we can ever imagine. And this is our Heavenly Father, our Creator, our Deliverer, our source of strength, Jehovah Jireh; the Lord our provider. He keeps us from all harm and watches over our lives (Psalm 121:7).
Yes, GOD'S love is reckless, His careless love is what is keeping us today. While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us all. He is always waiting for us patiently to repent and turn from our wicked ways.
The parable of the lost sheep
Matt.18.12 - How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?
Matt.18.13 - And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.
Matt.18.14 - Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
The parable of the Lost sheep is a clear example of the Reckless love of God. It shows how much we are love by God, having 100 sheep and going in search of one (1), leaving ninety-nine (99) behind. Once this happens, the Bible say there is great rejoicing in heaven.
What you must know
Our Heavenly Father will never cast out anyone who comes to Him (John 6:37). He is an amazing Father. Why would anyone not want to have the Lord God Almighty as their Father? He daily calls out to us; “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11.28).
And what better time other than this season we are in to heed to this call? We need not go through this tough season alone; feeling defeated and helpless when our Heavenly Father is always ready to lavish us with His immeasurable love and embrace us as His dear children. His love is available to us all; “How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! (1 John 3:1).
The enemy does not want us to know about this unconditional love of our Heavenly Father and he is therefore daily feeding us with lies to distract us from God’s love. He will get into our thoughts with lies such as: “You will never be good enough, everyone else is better than you, there is so much for you to be ashamed of, you could never be forgiven for that, God does not really love you after all you have done and no one can”.
All these lies from the enemy were cancelled out on the cross by our Heavenly Father through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The truth will forever remain that God’s love for us is unwavering, unconditional and everlasting. God is love and all He does is motivated by His love for us.
His love is not for a selected few; it knows no race, gender, age, color or status. Paul in Romans 8: 38– 39 says; “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Gods unconditional love is available to us all even to those who imagine or feel they do not deserve it and the Lord is reaching out to all of us; "Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts…” (Hebrews 3:15). His voice is saying; “I love you my child”.
Reach out to His love which is free for us all by acknowledging Him as your Father and enjoy a life of peace and abundance. He says; “…I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness”
Shalom
