I’m sure that many of you will have heard the song Reckless Love by Cory Asbury (if you haven’t, please go and have a listen). Upon first hearing this song, it captured me. I couldn’t give you an understanding into why my heart fell into it so deeply because the truth of the matter is, I wasn’t really sure what it all meant.
God Himself is not reckless but how He loves us, in some regard can be so. Cory Ashbury describes it as a reckless love in the sense that God bankrupted heaven for us, His love is reckless as God would never consider Himself before us. It’s a love deemed reckless because it isn’t self serving, it isn’t selfish. It is reckless because God takes no responsibility or thought into what He will gain but rather what you will gain. God makes the decision to put Himself out there in the hope that we will turn to Him in return: ‘the recklessness of His love is seen most clearly in this – it gets Him hurt over and over. Make no mistake, our sin pains His heart. Yet He opens up and allows us in every time. His love saw you when you hated Him – when all logic said ‘They’ll reject me,’ He said, ‘I don’t care if it kills me. I’m laying My heart on the line’. #GodsLove
