There is no greater grace gift that we have than the persistent love of God. It cannot mark off just one sheep as lost. Love goes looking for it. It is love that embraces the Prodigal. It is love that appeals to the older brother. It was love that went after Saul and made him the Apostle Paul. It is the love that gives “the only begotten Son”. It is love that is behind God’s patience. “Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.” 1 Corinthians 13:7-8a (NASB)
O Love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
That in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be. -George Matheson
