Part of my reading this morning.... I am in awe of this love....
God has taken upon Himself the task to woo us into a love relationship with Him, win our hearts and make us His forever. He doesn't only receive those who come to Him, He even is actively reaching out for them. One of the beautiful truths of the Bible is that it's always been God reaching out to man, not man reaching out to God. Our reaching back is just a response to His pursuit. Following Jesus is actually nothing else than being drawn by Him.
3 … I have loved you with an everlasting love, therefore I have drawn you with lovingkindness. (Jer 31:3)
32 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself. (John 12:32)
16 You did not choose Me but I chose you … (John 15:16)
44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him … (John 6:44)
19 We love, because He first loved us. (1 John 4:19)
