For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son,…………John 3:16 NASB
What do you do when a guy won't stop pursuing you? Be harsh and avoid him, I would say, or probably not. Well, that was my “go to” plan during my undergrad days. I watched as guys gave up on pursuing me but not Ken, Mr persistence. All that changed when I received my first and only teddy bear from him as a valentine’s day gift. For years I had watched friends make a big deal about giving gifts to loved ones on the day set out to show love. I couldn’t wait for the day when I would receive a present, particularly a huge soft teddy bear from the one I loved.
Funny enough I received it from the one I despised most. Though bent on getting rid of Ken, I struggled for several minutes on doing so, when I came to the realisation that he had gone the extra mile to get me my most desired present. While many showed love to others who loved them back, he showed love knowing how much I despised and treated him. This situation is no different from how Jesus pursues and shows love to us even when we constantly ignore Him. For many different reasons we resist Him knowing very well that He is ready to grant us our most desired present, one we don't deserve to receive from Him. I had found an awesome friendship in Ken which I could have easily lost because all I had was a couple more years to complete school. Persistence can last only for a period, you don’t want to keep ignoring the Lord’s call and offer of eternal life until its too late.
