Gods love is not passive.

“The LORD your God is in your midst,
A victorious warrior.
He will exult over you with joy,
He will be quiet in His love,
He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy. -Zephaniah 3:17

The verse above has always been one to encourage me during the times when I've needed it. But more recently I've been think about how it says that God is in our midst as a "victorious warrior" that "exults over us with joy." Its overwhelming to think of how God is so extremely far from being passive about his love for us.

Did you get that??

Our God is NOT a passive God!

Every aspect of him moves, lives and is full of life and power.

Just imagine this all powerful God who not only has the power to save us but who also is willing to aggressively do what it takes to accomplish his will for us. Everything from Sending his son to die for us, raising him from the dead, moving the mountains or shifting the natural order of the universe as we know it. All the while he feels a burning love and passion for us while doing so.
The very reason he saved us and endured so much for us on the cross was so that he could have us for himself eternally as his treasured possession. God wanted us so much he defied the power of death, hell and satan to completely and fully bring to himself all who would call upon the name of Jesus to be saved.

Sometimes we may doubt and ask things such as "Does God really love me so?" "Why does he love me?" or "How could he love someone like me?"
But do we really need to have a full explanation as to why God does what he does? We will never fully understand the mystery of God while we are here on Earth.
God is not this big jerk who sits far away without giving much thought or emotion to thinking about us. We don't need to worry about needing God to give us an explanation as to why he does what he does. He already promised us what he will do for his people in his word. We can stand on it and trust it.

So again, Why or how does God even love me? Because He is God and he can. It's what he chooses to do. Period.
