How Is Love Both Relentless and Un-forceful?

Something that's really puzzling me right now is how love can be determined and relentless, yet also be gentle and un-forceful. Those things seem to counter each other, but God somehow loves in both of those ways at the same time! So it is possible! Think about it. God relentlessly pursues, He chases us to the ends of the earth. He never stops loving and pursuing us. We sing songs about His "Reckless Love" for us and how He "won't relent" until he has our whole heart. He's completely unconditional in his pursuit of us. Yet He also never, ever forces us to accept Him. Nor does He make us feel pressure to do so! He never demands affection in return for the affection He gives. No matter how badly He wants connection with us, He never forces us to connect with Him, because forcefulness is not in His nature. How does He do it? And how do we, as His children do it? How does God find that balance of being totally relentless (reckless even) in His pursuit of humanity, yet never forcing, coercing, or pressuring us? How can Love, when done correctly, be both relentless and undemanding? Those are hard questions to answer. But I believe we are capable of answering them and by doing so, learning to love well.

Now, I'm not claiming to be able to answer those questions completely. Haha. I just have some ideas.

I believe part of the answer is that Love finds a way to show relentlessness, while at the same time broadcasting that response to its efforts is an option; not a requirement. Love makes itself an offering; an extended hand, to be accepted or refused. But Love never forces you to place your hand in its grip. Love never makes you love back. In fact, Love doesn't want you to love back out of obligation or pressure. It wants to be freely chosen. If Love were to demand a response, it would counteract its very nature and cease to be itself, because Love is not controlling or self-seeking. God doesn't MAKE you love Him, no matter how much He yearns for you. But that doesn't lessen the fierceness of His love for you either. He still pursues you with an intensity you can't imagine. He pursues you as much as is possible without violating your will. And that, I believe is the key. That is the example God sets for us: showing unconditional Love WITHOUT violating the will of others. And while it may be hard to discern His example clearly sometimes, I believe we are totally capable of learning how to love in the way He does. We are capable of being both relentless and un-forceful. And I'm learning that part of the key is never violating the will of another. I believe that learning how to love well is one of the main skills we should learn in this life. And fortunately, our Father gives us a perfect example of how to do so.
