Relentless is a word we are using a lot these days.
Though its meaning is not necessarily beautifully packaged, with it's harsh connotation. But strangely I kind of like the thought of God's love being a bit "messy", even more so than if it was all sweet and manicured all the time. It gives the impression that His love is strong, it is deep, it is extreme, it is hooked from within, it is constant, it can be inconvenient, it is confronting, but it is necessary. We need it, He knows it, and He won't deny its existence. He Loves us.
Feel the warmth of the sun. Like the fierceness of God's love.
We stand amazed at man-made wonders, like the pyramids in Giza and how on earth they got stacked on. Don't get me wrong, it is something to behold! Yet not at the expense of disregarding God's workmanship, which includes PEOPLE. We so easily forget that at His Word and by His voice planets swung into place, mountains emerged from the ground and oceans erupted out of the drains of the earth.
Just listen to the sounds of the waves crashing against the rocks. Beware the sharpness of thunder following the whip of lighting in the sky. Hear the sweet chirping of the birds or the soft meow of a kitten. All these come from His imagination, from His command. Everything we have, everything we create, comes firstly from His hand. We can't bring what we don't have, but out of the "nothingness" He brought forth. It came from within Him. He didn't need something to start something. Everything He has created was in Him. Not like a magician doing magic tricks we can't figure out, but rather like a King who encompasses sovereignty and authority. Out of His Word the earth and universe came forth like obedience to His call…
