Love Like a Storm

There's a reason we equate God's love to a storm.

His love is referred to as a "tempest" because it's unrelenting, inexorable, and overwhelming.

Unrelenting (adj) - not diminishing in intensity, speed, or effort
Inexorable (adj) - not capable of being persuaded by entreaty

Entreaty (n) - an earnest request or plea

Overwhelming (adj) - covered or buried beneath a mass of something, as floodwaters or an avalanche; to submerge, engulf.

These definitions speak for themselves.
His love is not diminishing in intensity, speed or effort.
It's not capable of being persuaded by an earnest plea or request. You can't persuade God to love you less if you begged him with an earnest plea to leave you alone.

The reason the word "overwhelming" sounds almost too much to describe his love is because in reality it is not good enough. He doesn't just want us to wade around in his love, or get ankle deep, he wants us to be engulfed in it and buried in it.
It's called a "storm of grace" because it feels chaotic and uncontrollable yet it's all for your benefit.
His love is exasperating and unrelenting and overwhelming because it's one of the few things he can't control.
It's boundless and unconditional. We can't do anything to make him love us less and that's why it appears so violent; because it's a love we have never encountered before.

Unconditional (adj) - Imposing, depending on or containing a condition or conditions; not implying a condition or prerequisite.

Prerequisite (n) - required as a prior condition to something

There is nothing we have to do to receive the full-fledged, unrelenting love of the creator. Every single person in existence has access to the same exact engulfing love. The rich don't receive a better version of his love, the prostitute doesn't receive a cheap interpretation or diluted version of his love, the rapist doesn't get a love that is offered out of pity, and that's exactly how it's suppose to be.
Our skewed scale of how we give love doesn't persuade God to refrain from giving out the same amount of peace, joy, comfort and relief from worldly heartache.

We have never felt a love like this because there is no other love that can immerse us so heavily and densely yet be so sweet and precious and light and enveloping at the same time. His love is perfect and kind and polite because he created it and mastered it. 

If God can love me despite the fact that I didn't use an oxford comma this entire post, he can love you with such fury that you won't ever want to go back to being without his presence.
God is after your heart. He is like the father in "Taken", he will demolish and eradicate anything that is in the way of getting himself to you, you just have to accept it.
