"Long for the love of God and prepare to receive it."
Today's devotion was a reminder of how much God loves us and what extent He goes to just to remind us of this love.
My question for God would be "How do you do it?" There is so much hurt in this life of betrayal and rejection and I can't understand the ability of forgiveness time and time again. I have been one to forgive 'too many times' and continue to be hurt by the same people and situation. But God does this continually. I guess it is one of those things we won't be able to understand until we get to heaven and can ask God. I just wonder how deeper our relationships will be in heaven if we are capable of this love.
I know God loves me unconditionally. I want to understand what it means to love unconditionally. Again, in this life there is such a blur over love. We like to think that it is 'unconditional' but there are so many things that we attach to our relationships. I love him "if he doesn't do this". I love her "as long as she is this way". There are so many conditions and 'prices' we put on our love...how wonderful it would be to completely shed those from our lives.
Love is a precious thing. To know that God loves me, and you, unconditionally is awesome! Bask in this love and know that it is the onl true love you can encounter!
