Love that is not Reckless

When I think of God’s overwhelming, never ending love I can’t add the adjective ‘reckless.‘
I just can’t.
Have you ever been in a car when the driver was driving recklessly? I have. There was no love motivating that thoughtless endangerment of lives.
Is God, as reckless is defined, without thinking or caring about the consequences?
Never.
He is always thinking, ALWAYS caring about circumstances.
Did He sing over me before I spoke a word?
Did He breath life into me?
Does He chase me, fight for me, pay the cost for me?
Yes
Is there a wall He won’t scale, a mountain He won’t climb? A debt He won’t pay?
No
God cares and watches and thinks and counts the cost of His Son’s sacrifice.
Does that sound reckless?
The verse of a very presently popular song tells me He is reckless. Although it fits well into the cadence of the song, I can’t utter the words, but these I can:
Oh the Overwhelming, sacrificial, endless love of God.
The thoughtful sacrifice of Jesus is redemptive, not a reckless one.
One word change and I can get behind it. Reckless? Not God
