Relentless

The message yesterday was called Relentless and the subject was God's tireless pursuit of us. I "know" this in my head but I tend to forget this in my heart, especially in daily life.

God loves you. He loves me. The Maker of the Universe chases you down every day, waiting for you to respond to Him. Even if you have not yet given your live to Jesus, God wants to be part of your life.

The news is really good for Christians. 2 Chronicles 16:9 tells us that "The eyes of the Lord search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him". That is great news! When we do our best to follow God, even in all of our broken efforts, He strengthens us.

All He is asking us is to pursue Him, to put everything else in second (or third place) and choose Him first. He's not requesting us to be perfect but He asks us to try and to do our best to be like Him.

In this season when we celebrate the birth of our Savior, I challenge us all to relentlessly pursue God. Tirelessly. Effortlessly. He gave His all for us. Let's do the same for Him.
