I have made far too many choices in my life which disqualified me of the rights and the privilege of being called His. Yet, God, knowing my story, knowing my past and having lived through the blunt rejection I gave Him... He chooses to not just love me, but elevate me and forgive me. Taking not just the sin away but taking my death and giving me life.
Now I have lived long enough and gone through enough in this life to be certain that: not every love is unconditional and even when it is, it by no guarantees that your best interest will always be at the forefront. That sometimes even when you love someone as though they were tied to your very soul, that love may not be the love which will bring you to where you should be. Then there is the addictive kind of love, where you eat, sleep and breath at the thought of another; then the possessive love. In essence, there are many kinds of love.
However the true underlining truth for me in this life is that no matter what kind of love that comes and goes from my life; embraces and shatters my heart, the love I have known in God and through Christ is not only the truest, most enduring, faithful and purest of loves, but is the perfect love. Thus it is through this love I begin this passage.
