Ah, yes, coloring outside the lines! Overabundant exuberance. Overzealous. Overpassionate. Over enjoyment (Yes, I'm making up words). Free and boundless. Without limit.
This is your reminder of just how much God loves you.
HOW He loves you.
Spilling over with love. With a broad, sweeping stroke He splashed every color across the sky in the rainbow. In the rising of the sun. In the stones along the shoreline. Can you imagine Him leaping with great abandon and lavishly throwing color (and love) all over the place? With no regard to how extreme it may seem?
Over the top. Bigger love than you can get your head around. He has no rules about who, why, or when to love. But it's true. He loves you like that.
I was going to write about how we should be over-the-top in our love for others, (and we should) but I think more so, that we should just spend some time soaking up the immense love of God - for you - for me. So take a few moments. Let wave after wave of it wash over you. Just sit there and let it happen. Call it into being. Convince yourself to believe this:
God loves you.
God loves you, ___________ (your name).
God truly, with His heart, loves you.
Without limit. Without any rules. Without reason or cause. No matter what.
He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will renew you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing. (Zephaniah 3:17)
Think how much the Father loves us. He loves us so much that He lets us be called His children, as we truly are. (1 John :31 CEV)
