And because of that, it's impossible to come into the presence of God and not experience His brand of furious, relentless, and powerful love.

Because He's it.

So when it feels like I don't have enough love to cover something, the reason might be that I've been edging God out (with my own desires or my own laziness or my own need to be right all the time).
It might even be that some reassessment, some prayer (maybe even some repentance) is needed on my part...it might be that the situation needs a little more God and a little less me.
