Tonight, I (Casey) just returned from spending some time with my wife at a nearby restaurant and watching a movie. The movie, Taken, starred by Liam Nesson, is about a father who begrudgingly allows his daughter to go on an international trip and while she is there she is kidnapped by two traffickers. The father, Liam N, spends the next 86+ hours doing everything he can to find his daughter. He is pursuing her because he has unconditional love for her. He is willing to do whatever it takes. He will let know one stop him. He is willing to sacrifice everything. He has "skills that will be used to find her at any cost".
So I started thinking, how much stronger is God's love for us? Think about how much God was willing to sacrifice and do, to pursue us? How much greater are God's supernatural abilities/skills than any human?
Max Lucado writes this when talking about this same subject: "No price is too high for a parent to pay to redeem his child. No energy is too great. No effort too demanding. A parent will go to any length to find his of her own. So will God.
Mark it down. God’s greatest creation is not the flung stars or the gorged canyons; it’s his eternal plan to reach his children."
Aren't you glad that His love is this strong? Have you thanked him lately?
