We tend to think we’re in danger of overstating God’s love for us as we receive it as his children. We hold back, not wanting to be too bold, careful to be sure we don’t overdo it. But what if my kids acted like that toward me, holding my love at arm’s length? It would break my heart. Don’t break your Father’s heart. Lap it up. Drink it down. Let the holy fire of his love burn hot in your soul. That is his own deep desire.
