Unconditional Love

There is such thing as unconditional love in this world. Tonight I got a little reminder of that. But sometimes, when the world walks out on people, you shouldn't. And when the world tells you that you should walk out on people...you still shouldn't. I've lived by this philosophy most of my life and people have always told me that I let people walk all over me or I shouldn't take it. I think they are wrong. I am not a doormat. I am not even passive. But I do have this thing inside of me that tells me that no matter what people do to you, you shouldn't give up on them. And I really think that is what God is trying to teach us. Its not the people that you don't know or the lost or whatever...its the people that you love most, the people that you are with everyday...the people that you have to choose to love. These are the people that know you and you know...the people that you invest your time and energy into...the people that you invest yourself into. Those are the people that God has put in your life to love unconditionally, just as He has loved you unconditionally.

Unconditionally- without condition, no matter what. I love you no matter what. No matter what you do I still love you.

And honestly, I have suffered a lot of heartache from this. But doesn't God cover that, too. To persevere and at the end you will receive the crown of life. Run the good race. Endurance. These are all things that we are taught in the New Testament. Its not going to be easy. In fact, you are going to have much tribulation. But take heart! Because I am on your side. God is taking care of it all. And we are called to give to others the way that we have been given to. Its so hard and in the world's eyes it doesn't make sense at all, and they will challenge you to the bitter end. But in God's eyes, its the way humanity was intended to be. To love each other unconditionally. God calls for a collectivist society, not individualistic. We are supposed to give completely of ourselves for the good of each other- no matter what the cost.

So in the end, a little heartache and frustration seems like nothing.
