I am not sure who I am whenever I think of why God pursues me with an agape love, unconditional love.
You see, no one, let me say that again, no one can come to God by his/her own initiatives and desires.
The Bible says, we come to this world as “dead in our transgressions and sins” Ephesians 2:1
And we only know how to do life following “the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air” Ephesians 2:2
For us to know and follow God and His ways, we need something that is outside of us to wake us up from death.
That is why Jesus said, “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them,” John 6:44a
Did you see that?
No one!
That is why John writes,
“We love because he first loved us.
1 John 4:19 NASB
And Jesus said,
“You did not choose me, but I chose you” John 15:16a NASB
After God, by His own will and prerogative, chooses to draw us to Christ, He pursues us to the end in a relentless, unending and unfailing love!
Who am I then to be loved like this by this Holy God?
I don’t know!
So agreeing with this singer, I say, “Who am I to be loved by you?” ///
P. S. Here is the lyrics of the song:-
Hard times and conversation
No one should ever love me like you do
Sometimes my bad decisions
Define my false suspicions
No one should ever love me like you do
Somehow you really love who I really am
I push you away, still you won’t let go
You grow your roses on my barren soul
To be loved by you
Who am I, who am I, who am I
To be loved by you
Who am I, who am I, who am I
To be loved by you
Who am I, who am I, who am I
My wounds and my past was saying
No one should ever love me like you do
Somehow you really love who I really am
I push you away, still you won’t let go
You grow your roses on my barren soul
To be loved by you
Who am I, who am I, who am I
To be loved by you
Who am I, who am I, who am I
To be loved by you
Who am I, who am I, who am I
I’m a train wreck, I’m a mess, you see the best
And the worst in me
Still I can’t imagine that I’ve learned your trust
I don’t understand where your love comes from
To be loved by you
Who am I, who am I, who am I
To be loved by you
Who am I, who am I, who am I
To be loved by you
Who am I, who am I, who am I
To be loved by you
To be loved by you
Who am I, who am I, who am I
To be loved by you
Who am I, who am I, who am I
To be loved by you
Who am I, who am I, who am I
To be loved by you
