A man I know who as part of his ministry visit prisons,on a previous visit an elderly inmate trusted the Lord Jesus as His Saviour.On his latest visit he had the joy of baptising him and eight others, do pray for them. After the baptism there was a time of praise ,and one of the songs they sung was,''Reckless love'', by Cory Asbury, it is based on the story of the lost sheep in Luke's gospel chap 15 v 3 - 7.It tells of a shepherd who had one hundred sheep,and one went missing, so he left the 99 and went searching for it in the wilderness, until he found it,then he put it on his shoulder, he was bursting with joy,because he found it,and when he reached home,he was so filled with joy, he gathered all his friends, and neighbours in and told about the sheep that was lost and now was found.Jesus said that there was joy in heaven over one lost soul who turned to God and turned away from their sin Reckless Love. Before I spoke a word ,You were singing over me, You have been so, so good to me, Before I took a breath,You breathed your life in me. When I was your foe,still your love fought for me, You have been so, so good to me, When I felt no worth,you paid it all for me, You have been so, so kind to me. There's no shadow you wont light up Mountain you wont climb up,coming after me, There's no wall you wont kick down, coming after me. Oh the overwhelming , never ending reckless love, It chases me down, fights till I'm found, leaves the, 99, I couldn't earn it, and don't deserve it,till you give yourself away, Oh the overwhelming never ending, Reckless love of God, Yeah.
