Unconditional love. What is it? I've been thinking about that this past week. I realize how conditional and finite my love is. I have realized that I accept people based on their performance over who they are ( a child of God). My love is not really love at all. It carries more of a "how can you benefit me" attitude. Not very loving at all.
I do not understand the concept of unconditional love. I look to Jesus Christ and see His love for me when I didn't deserve it. Love is not earned. It is a gift that is freely given without any expectation. I guess to truly love Jesus back, is to give him what He's given me- life, my life.
Through this past week, I have come to realize more and more of how short I fall in my thoughts, my heart, my actions-- in comparison to how great God is and to His standard. I realize how much I need Jesus' forgiveness. I need Him to change me and fill me with His love.
Unconditional love. Truly, it can only be found through the love of Jesus.
