PURSUED BY GOODNESS & UNFAILING LOVE
A poem and essay by ILMA
What would you do if someone chases you relentlessly?
How would you respond to unfailing love given freely?
Wouldn’t your heart leap for joy when you are wooed?
Won’t you eventually respond when you are pursued?
Jesus Christ hunts us unceasingly and faithfully
He will never stop loving us unconditionally
How do you respond to such passion and fervor?
Will you be able to resist such loving offer?
When someone wants to give you forever
Will you say no to a happily ever after?
When you are pursued by someone like Christ
How can you ever say no to a life full of light?

Courtship is a very essential part of the relationship between a man and a woman. It is at this stage that they get to know each other and grow their closeness in preparation for a deeper commitment should their love for each other grow. Sadly, many people nowadays don’t put much value on this essential stage of a loving relationship.
The bible tells us how Jesus pursues us by his goodness and unfailing love. He doesn’t stop or give up on us. His unconditional love is amazing and incomparable to any human relationships.
PRAYER
Lord, I am thrilled that you pursue me unceasingly.
REFLECTION
How do you respond to Christ’s pursuit of your heart?
