Many a times we love because we know that the party we love (be it our family or friends), will reciprocate. and that's why we love. i mean, how many of us will go up to a stranger and buy him/her a meal without any reason? but most of us do treat our friends and loved ones to meals. why? because we love them.
It's amazing how God opened my eyes to see that His love for me is unconditional. i mean, i do know that His love is unconditional, but just tonight, He made it real to me.
Was struggling with certain thoughts while walking back to my hostel when God nudged me in my heart telling me to love.....to love unconditionally. God knows everything. i mean, if He doesnt, He wouldnt be God then. God knows how you'll respond to Him when He loves you. He even know how you'll react before you can react. He knows if you'll accept His love He has for you, or deny His love, which He poured out so freely unto you. He knows. but yet, He choose to give it to you regardless of your respond. Romans 5:8 tells us that "But God demonstrate His own love for us in this:
While we were STILL sinners, Christ died for us".
Yes, Jesus died for YOU that YOU may live again. yea....YOU :)
Lord, it's amazing how u love me so unconditionally. thank you also for giving me the free will to choose how i want to respond to you. Lord, thank you for opening my eyes, to show me that i've very much been loving conditionally. doing things for people, hoping for people to do the same for me. teach me Lord, to love unconditionally. this i lift it up to You. change me, mould me. thank you Lord. in Jesus name, amen.
