In January 2020, Cory Asbury release another version of “Reckless Love” which highlighted Tori Kelly, and a daily devotional book named Reckless Love: A 40-Day walk Into the overwhelming, never-ending love of God.
Cory Asbury recounted the story behind the song while leading in worship at Heaven Come Meeting 2017, an occasion held by Bethel Music, referring to the story of the Lost Sheep in Luke 15 as a scriptural reference point saying:
“When I used the phrase, ‘the reckless love of God,’ when we say it, we’re not saying that God Himself is reckless, He’s not crazy.
We are, however, saying that the way He loves, is in many regards, quite so. But what I mean is this: He’s utterly unconcerned with the consequences of His own actions with regard to His own safety, comfort, and well-being.
He doesn’t wonder what He’ll gain or lose by putting Himself on the line, He simply puts Himself out there on the off-chance that you and I might look back at Him and give Him that love in return.
His love leaves the ninety-nine to find the one every time and too many practical adults that’s a foolish concept. Well, what if He loses the ninety-nine in finding the one, right? What if, finding that one lost sheep is and always will be supremely important”… God’s love is unrelenting even when humanity is in a mess when humanity rejected his love, His love to them is still reckless.
