The Word of God insists that next in importance to loving God is loving what God loves the sin-stained people Christ died for. Our divine Role Model is continually driven by love, even to the extreme of sacrificing everything for the sake of people who continually break his heart and keep on spurning him. No one knows the pain of rejection like God does. His agony is multiplied beyond comprehension by all the pain and suffering his loved ones feel and all the heartache they cause him by the way they treat him and treat others whom he loves equally passionately. Why does God endure it? Why doesnt he close his heart? The pain we suffer when people hurt us is our chance to enter into a deeper understanding of the most beautiful thing in the universe: Gods heart. The heart of God is so immense that even in the face of unfathomable pain he still has unbounded joy and peace because he is never self-obsessed. Despite his unfulfilled yearning for the love of individuals who break his heart, he keeps on loving and delights in the happiness of others. We are called to be like him.
