Tough and Tender Truth

God paints love in broad brush strokes.

Like a magnificent sunset exploding across the evening sky, God sets us on fire with love for the downtrodden.

But...only if we give Him permission.

This love is terrifying: you want me to love whom?

This love is uneven: if we accomplish it at all, it is in fits and starts.

This love is electric: when we paint love like God does, we enter an arena of relationship that has God's blessing and mercy and supernatural intersection.

This love is raw: it will burden your heart like no other.

This love is unpredictable: it will strike you when you least expect it.

Does He have your permission to set you on fire with His love?
