During one of my worship sessions, the song Reckless Love was playing. At the end of the song, they sing "you're coming after me and you won't stop". As I reflected on my worship time, I realized I had looked at that song as only being about God chasing after those that don't believe in Him. I was wrong. The singer put things into perspective for me with just that one verse.
God's pursuit after us is intentional. The song says God will chase us down, fight until we're found, and leave the 99. If there are 100 people in a group and you stray away, God's going to leave the 99 to chase after you because you're just that significant. Most of the time when we have 100 of something and we lose 1, it's not a big deal to us but to God you are. Every person is significant to God, whether they believe or not. He wants to save the unsaved. In Matthew 9:11 when the Pharisees asked the disciples why Jesus ate with publicans and sinners, Jesus replied with "They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick" (v12). For those that are saved, He wants to continue to commune with you and teach you and do a work in you. In Paul's letter to the Philippians, he reminds them in verse 6 that, "he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ".

This is a continuous pursuit that is INTENTIONAL. No matter who you are, you have a purpose. You are significant. God loves you and He's pursuing you.
God has everything we need and He's constantly intentionally pursuing us to tell us that He has all the resources we need.
