"The heart is defenseless against two things: undeserved mercy and unreserved kindness. Jesus overcomes the heart and leaves it rent asunder by loving us where we are."
(comment by Allen Hood from the curriculum Excellencies of Christ, a course at IHOP in Kansas City).
When the human heart grasps the fact of the undeserved Mercy Jesus showed us in his life and death and the unreserved kindness he has toward us we melt. It is this great love that propels us towards trusting Him. This kind of love moves right past all the outer veneers in us and moves right to the core of our being.
...that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them. (John 17:26)
