What is uncondtional Love?

This is a question I have really been thinking about lately. What is unconditional Love? What does it mean to you? Have you ever been unconditionally loved? What does that look like?
One example of unconditional love.... is a mother who is devestated that their son is in jail for being accused of sexually abusing their daughter, the mother is devestated by the act, but loves her son no matter what, because she believes in him, she trust God with him, she doesn,t give up hope.

Another example is a man whose ex girlfriend gets pregnant with another person's baby, but yet loves her so much he marries her and raises and loves the baby as his own.

Another example is when I was drunk, sleeping around, alienated myself from God and Christians, yet a christian friend comes and hangs out, loves me for where I am, joins me in my messiness, not judging, but loving...saying I don't agree with your lifestyle, but I Love you... I believe in you.

I have had the honor to see so many people I know walk in unconditional love and forgiveness....

The greatest example is Jesus.....he loves us so much he died a horrific death so that we can be free, he clothes us with a holy mantle and he sees us perfect in our messiness and brokenness... he loves us so much, he forgives us 70X7, He believes in us...He might not agree with the choices we are making, we might even break his heart, but one thing that is for sure is He never gives up on us, He loves us unconditionally, even more then we can fathom...it mind blowing to dwell in that kind of love.

Do we love unconditionally? Most of love ...but we have either unspoken or spoken expectations.... we have conditions...I love you , but....
I love you , but you have to do this, or be like this. We put up conditions sometimes without knowing it, sometimes we do it cuz we dont know any better.

This is when we need a revelation of how much God loves us...exactly where we are..in our brokenness, in our mess.

God reveal to us how much you love us..... for with out your revelation we will never be able to love as you love us.

Were would we be with out that love? If we dont know God's love, if we dont believe that he Loves us....then wow how miserable would our lives be...there would be no hope.

Unconditional love is a the foundation the basis to our relationship and walk with God

I pray that if you do not truly believe that God loves you exactly as you are, broken, bruised, a mess, I pray you find the reality soon....

When we know some one loves us unconditionally, it not only gives us hope, it gives us a sence of belonging...which is what we all desire.... to be loved and accepted!! With no expectations, no conditions...just as we are.

We were at a youth conference last weekend and the speaker was talking about the Good Samaritan and how the man was broken, covered in dirty blood, a mess.
And the first 2 guys who walked around the dirty broken man....they had their own reasons why they couldn't get dirty...whether it was because they didn't know what to do, or maybe they felt that if they got to close they would be contaminated, perhaps they were so caught up in what they thought was a good religious lifestyle they forgot about being human.

Whatever the reason they never stopped to help, to love, to show God's unconditional love and grace.
Then came the Good Samaritan he stop got down to the broke man's level, he got blood on his hands, he got dirty, he carried the broken man to safety, he did what it took to love unconditionally...he never condemned the man for being broken, but he loved the man in his brokenness!

My desire is to be the Good Samaritan, to reach out and show God's love and Grace for where people are at.

God has shown me unconditional love, I have caught a small glimpse of it and I want to show it to others to all I come into contact with.... I will not judge, I will not condemn, I will love as Jesus loves, I will forgive as Jesus forgives, I will be Jesus with arms and flesh and then HE can flow through me.

This is my life's purpose to love unconditionally as I am loved.

This is my prayer!

Be Blessed!
