A Love Quest

As I was reading in God's word today a phrase stopped me short. It was in Job36:16 and it says "He(God) is wooing you..." Wow. According to Websters dictionary the word 'woo' is defined as
1 : to sue for the affection of and usually marriage with : court
2 : to solicit or entreat especially with importunity
3 : to seek to gain or bring about
Isn't that a beautiful thought? God truly longs for us to come to Him. It makes me think of when a young man courts his love. Wooing her to him with flowers and time spent on indulging her. Declaring over and over of his enduring love for her. How much more has God done for us. He has created the flowers! He will never leave or forsake us! His love for us in incomprehensible!
Psalms 103:8-11 says "The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. He will not always accuse, now will he harbor his anger forever; he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our inequities. For As high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him."
As Jesus has told us in Rev.2:4 may we not "forsake our first love."
