Crazy

Sr. M. Consolata Crews FSGM's picture

Today someone used this word in a context that was new for me.  I quote, "Isn't His Love so Crazy?  And shouldn't we become a little more crazy about Him and His Love at each phase of our lives?"

This is certainly something to ponder.  Webster's Dictionary defines crazy as "mad : insane; consumed by enthusiasm or excitement; not sensible : impractical". 

Hmmmmmm…..yes, His love is Crazy!  Does it make sense that our Lord would suffer for us, for me?  That He loves me in the midst of my sin?  He died for love of me!  On a human level, no, it doesn't make sense.

So, is my love just as crazy for Him?  Has it become more crazy as life progresses?  Yes, this is something to ponder.  Who, from a worldly sense, would give her life completely to the Lord, forever?  Yes, then I must be nuts..crazy…in love with a Savior!

How about you?  Do you allow the Lord's Crazy Love to break into your heart?  Try it today!  Be open!  Let your love be crazy for Him in return!
