"It's the fear that His love is no better than mine"
I've been an Andrew Peterson fan from the second I heard one of his songs off his first major album years ago. I just liked the way he crafted songs. The other day I was driving in the car listening to an album I've listened to 100's of times. All of a sudden the line I quoted above. Now I know that I've sung that line along with the recording tons of times but all of a sudden I was paying attention to it.
What kind of trouble would this world be in if God's love was no better than the love that this faulty youth pastor has? I am afraid to even think.
I don't love people like I should. I have this puny human brain. I get angry with people. I get frustrated with people. I don't understand the decision making of people. I'm impatient.
Ok Aaron, but those are people that everyone has a hard time with. But let's be honest here. I'm not a perfect husband or father either. I get frustrated with my son because he needs something but he can't tell me what it is. I know this'll come as a shock to you, but sometimes my wife and I argue about things!
God's love is so good. He loves those people that frustrate me as much as he loves me. Not more.....but not less either. God doesn't see a scale. His desire is that EVERYONE would recognize their sin and repent and come back to Him.
On so many levels it's a good thing God is God and I am not.
