Crazy Love is the love that God has for us. His love wasn't cautious but extravagant. We didn't earn this unrelenting love of the Father. Long before the very foundations of the earth were laid, He had us on His mind, His focus was on us. This love, that He has for us, is marked by giving, not getting. That's why He gave His Son for us, to free us from the bondage of sin. This is some Crazy Love.
Are we reciprocating with this same type of love. We learn this life of love as we take our lead from the Father. He said, if we love Him we will love others.
Do we love God and others with this organic love from the Father, or is it a man made love. Man made love is fickle, it loves those who can give us something in return.
This immense love of the Father, is something birthed within a man's Spirit. It's a love that will cause one to love beyond self and what we can gain out of it. That's how Christ loved us. He didn't love in order to get something from us, but to give everything of himself to us. Now THAT'S LOVE.
This love is a duplication of the heart of the Father, it's imprinted into our very being. When we have been stamped by the love of our Father it will cause us to love God and to love others even the unlovely.
As we live a life of love marked by giving and not getting, we will be known as followers of Christ....by our CRAZY LOVE.
