Great, Free, Unchanging, Particular

Love, for us, is an emotion of response; it is drawn out by the ones we love. We make a connection with the object of our love and love grows from this connection. The love of God works the other way around. He loves and so he connects; he loves us and so he draws us to him. We love him back only because he loved us first. 
I’ve got a really long post on The Love of God at Out of the Ordinary today. Yes, it should be shorter. It’s a blog post, after all. But what would I cut?

I'm glad you didn't cut anything from your post---I loved every word and read it with tears and praise.
