The story behind the song

"Reckless Love" explores the profound and often surprising nature of divine love. The song's title refers to the idea that God's love is so all-consuming that it appears "reckless" from a human perspective, as it disregards personal safety or comfort to pursue individuals. Inspired by the Parable of the Lost Sheep, it emphasizes that this love leaves the ninety-nine to find the one, highlighting its unwavering and persistent pursuit. It plays like a heartfelt declaration of a love that is utterly unconcerned with consequences when it comes to reaching out.
