She Connects: Unconditional Love

God loves His children.

To any believer of God this would be like pointing out a mole that the person has had on their face since birth. But do you really understand the depth of His love?

Romans 8:37-39 reads, “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord,” (ESV).

Romans is saying that there isn’t a mountain high enough to keep us away from the love of God, but come on. There has to be a time when even God gets exasperated by our foolishness. What if my next mistake is the last straw? Then what?

While these fears may seem reasonable and rational, 1 John 4:18 states, “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love,” (ESV).

There is no last straw with God.

God’s love is undeniably endless.

Even when lose our faith in Him, He keeps His faith in us.

As any parent would be, He may be disappointed in a decision we make, but God will never leave or forsake us.

You could be the worst sinner out in the world, if one even exists, and God would love you regardless.

In church, you may be told that you’re loved with the love of the Lord and although I am not at all times open to it, to be loved with the love of the Lord is a very powerful thing. Having a love for another person like the love the Lord has for us is loving on a level that is beyond passionate.

Loving with the love of the Lord would cause a person to cross the line and become obsessive in the unhealthiest form.

No one can love you in the way the Lord loves you.

Loving someone the way God loves you would be like loving your partner for better or worse times a thousand.

Could you forgive your partner for cheating on you?

Could you forgive your partner for committing murder purposefully?

With repentance, God forgives us for things without a second thought. As humans, it’s more than just a little difficult to turn an eye unbattingly at things like that.

It’s for that no one can truly love with the Lord.

To love with the love of the Lord would be to accept every flaw that a person wears when you meet them, and accept every flaw that forms after. It means that you must be willing to sit with a person and listen to them cry for hours on end about their issues. It means that you be open to effortlessly forgive someone for acts that they commit before you know them and every day after.

God’s love is unconditional to the point that if He were a person, He’d probably be diagnosed as undoubtedly insane.

For these reasons, the love of the Lord is not achievable by anyone but the Lord himself.
