Thoughts on Unconditional Love

Unconditional Love…
What is it? What is it to love someone unconditionally? Well… Let’s break it up…
Condition: Depending on other factors; not certain.
Un- : prefix- not; contrary to; opposite of;
-al : suffix- of; related to; connected with, functional, sectional, tonal
Let’s joing them all now: Un ( contrary to, opposite of) condition (depending on other factors) al (related to)…. meaning: related to the opposite of depending on other factors…. Not depending on other factors… Not concerned with who or why or what or if…. it just is because it is..
Now tell me if that is humanly possible without God’s help..? I don’t think so. No human can love unconditionally…. that is without God’s help. He’s the only true unconditional lover of our souls, and we can only learn to love like He does if we let Him live through us….
it’s not easy…. true… but then nothing in this life is easy… trusting God should be easier considering He knows everything and cares. And despite everything that we do He still loves us and cares for us! It should be a heck of a lot easier trusting Him if we understand unconditional love…. maybe we should first try to understand and experience this unconditional love before we fully trust God because until we don’t understand, we won’t trust God completely… I’m guilty, but God is teaching me everyday…

maybe you should seek and learn what it is….

“No matter what or why or who or where… I will still love you,” says God

“And always will….. No matter what,” Says God

Because that is what Love is… and should be….

Unconditional

Thoughts on Valentine’s and Love

Wow! There’s so much to talk about on this topic… Unfortunately I don’t have the gift of words that could explain everything that I feel and think about this topic… But I’ll try in a short amount since work is going to be really busy tomorrow (technically today) and I should be getting some rest.

Love is not so complicated as people make it seem. It’s really quite simple to understand. But, to understand it, you must first know the author of love- the Beginning of love.

1. Jesus, the one who loved us so much that He was willing to give up everything for you. That’s sacrifice- one definition of love.

2. He chose to love us even while we were dead in our  sins… even while we were filthy and kept doing wrong things that hurt Him. That’s unconditional love; the fact that He would love us no matter what and that He would bring us back no matter how far we’d go. That’s another aspect of love.

3. He chooses to forgive us and give us a second, and a third, and a fourth…. and a millionth….. chance. That’s because He loves us and understands our weaknesses as humans. Forgiveness-  that’s another characteristic of love. Forgiving no matter what because we understand that we are humans and we are going to fail. 

4. He chooses to bless us and give us things that we definitely don’t deserve. That’s His Grace- another of love’s characteristics. Grace- an unmerited gift. A gift that we don’t deserve. 

There are so many other things that I could say, but if we just practice a few of these things and know the one who authored Love then our relationships and lives would be a whole lot better and wholesome- wouldn’t you agree? If we choose to love – yes, love isn’t a feeling, it’s a choice… a choice to love someone despite of themselves- and practice what love is, imagine how much pain could be avoided.

Let’s remember this valentine’s day what love really is all about. Let’s keep other’s in mind and learn to love how He loved us.

The grace of love is a gift…

The forgiveness of love is a treasure…

The unconditionality of love is a decision…

but all of these are a choice….

So… Love is a Choice
