The Heart of the Matter
God gives me this song repeatedly. I hear the chorus of this over and over at different times. I feel God calling me to forgive, to ask for forgiveness and to talk about forgiveness through this song. Lately, though, He has spoken to a different part of me with this song.
I have always gotten the “I think it’s about forgiveness…forgiveness.” Now I am getting the “Even if, even if you don’t love me any more.” I feel like Jesus has been speaking this directly into my soul.
So many people equate our salvation with acts or works that we should be performing on our end. When we accept Christ we are forgiven. We get forgiveness, forgiveness. While we are in the midst of getting the most out of what Jesus has for us, we have forgiveness, forgiveness. We are loving Jesus and He is loving us.
Then, sometimes we fall away. We quit reading and talking. We stop meeting and going. We fail to partake and to love. And this is where the “Even if, even if you don’t love me any more” comes in. I hear my Jesus talking to me. I get forgiveness, forgiveness…Even if, even if I am not loving Him actively any more. His love is not conditional, He does not love as the world loves.
My God loves perfectly. He loves perfectly. Let’s say that again. My God loves perfectly. He knows where we are and where we are going. He gives us forgiveness, forgiveness even if, even if we don’t love Him anymore.
