Day 27: The Reckless
Love of God
REV. DR. DUSTIN B. SULLIVAN
“…and what does the Lord require of you? But to do justly, to love mercy,
and to walk humbly with your God.”
– Micah 6:8 NKJV
Recently, I experienced one of the greatest concerts of all time—the Kingdom Tour
with Maverick City Music, right here in DC. In a packed arena, believers of every walk,
connected in common bond to the uncommon love we have in Jesus. In that moment,
beyond the band, the stage, and lighting effects, the treasured truth emerged from within
the lyrics. Completely captivated, as a dissipating fog arose, distinct voices, saturated
the arena singing. “…Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God. Oh, it
chases me down, fights ‘til I’m found, leaves the ninety-nine. I couldn’t earn it and don’t
deserve it; still, You give Yourself away. Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love
of God.”
Pause - did you get it? If not, rewind and relive it. “…Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless
love of God…oh, it chases me down, fights ‘til I’m found, leaves the ninety-nine.”
I hope you hit “replay” and experience it one more time; realizing with humility how
the intentional love of Jesus has not only intently pursued us, but relentlessly extends an
invitation to be in relationship with others.

REFLECTIONS
How would things look differently if we
remembered God’s love and accepted it as
the invitation to humbly live?

PRAYER
Lord, give us the humility required to live out the deep
meaning of your love in places sometimes hardest to
reach. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
