God's
love has a piercing quality, a persevering element, an assertive and searching
aspect. God yearns for us, woos us,
reaches for us. God's grace has the
generative power to pardon, transform, redeem, and perfect, and it pushes and
pursues. God's love is not something
sitting on a shelf that we reach for, but a truth at the heart of life that
reaches for us. God's grace interrupts
with a compelling, propelling, motivating, and mobilizing quality. It has the power, if we let it, to break open
our hearts, get inside of us, change us, and then work its way through us to
others.
