Unconditional Love

 

Unconditional Love: is selfless, enduring, forgiving, and has no restrictions


Unconditional Love: is selfless, enduring, forgiving, and has no restrictions

 

The Bible teaches us that God loves us all unconditionally. He loved himself less so that he could love us more - he gave up his only begotten son for us. This unwavering commitment of Divine love is offered to everyone and anyone willing to accept it. While we cannot match God's unconditional love, we are called to unconditionally love all people and all things in our lives, being selfless, enduring, and forgiving love towards others – reflecting God's own loving nature.

 

God Said: “He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me” Matthew 10:37

"If anyone comes to Me and does not *hate his father and mother... he cannot be My disciple." Luke 14:26

*Hate in Hebrew means loving something less.

God doesn’t want us to hate our parents, hate here refers to choosing him over your parents – loving them less than we love Him.

 

We know he doesn’t want us to hate them because the fifth commandment says,

“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you” Exodus 20:12

  

Can you love yourself less to love someone more?

 

Giving unconditional love doesn’t mean sacrificing yourself or who you are or bending over backwards for others. God offers it everyone who is willing, with selflessness, He forgives without restriction to all those willing to accept his unconditional love; He doesn’t force it on people who don’t want it.

 

We are asked to do the same, love all people unconditional. Not all will be willing to accept it, and we will not force them. You will know the ones that accept your unconditional love, they are one’s that know you are worth loving themself a little less to accept your unconditional love.

 

·       Are you able to love yourself less to love someone else more?

·       Are you able to choose them over something/someone else?

·       Do you offer unconditional love to all people and all things in your life.

·       What does loving unconditionally mean to you?

 

 

 

“I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13

 

“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God has forgiven you.” Ephesians 4:32

 

 

 

Freedom Comes from within, not without...Life was meant to be abundant...in all areas.

There is always something to be Grateful for!

 

I wish you love, happiness, prosperity, kindness, and positivity.

 

With Gratitude,

Pride

  Self-Pride Pride Pride: is a human secondary emotion characterized by a sense of security with one's identity, performance, or accomplishments; a feeling that you respect yourself and deserve to be respected by other people self-respect     We take pride in our achievements and the achievement of others because we are proud of those achievements. Taking pride in ourselves and recognizing our own self-worth, personal qualities, and achievements can boost our self-esteem, can build our confidence, can make us more self-reliant, and can motivate us to take the steps needed to move forward toward our goals. There are benefits in taking pride in all that we do. Self-pride challenges us to step out of our comfort zone and take on difficult tasks, reflect on the tasks we have completed and how far we come, to be proud of the accomplishments we have made, and we are not too proud to work with others or get help from others . There is also danger in being too prideful...

  I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me Discipline is a very important personality trait in our life.

Addiction

"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." Matthew 7:7 Addiction   Addiction ( There are two main forms of addiction: substance use disorders and behavioral addictions ) - the fact or condition of being *addicted to a particular substance, thing, or activity; one strongly inclined to do, use, or indulge in something repeatedly   Almost everyone suffers from some form of addiction, something that seems to have more power or control over us than we would like it to. This could be food, sugar, alcohol, drugs, approval, cigarettes, money, power, anything, …     There is no one reason why a person becomes addicted to something, only they can answer that question. We don’t know their situation or what they have been through to get to where they are. We don’t know what triggers them – it could be a phone call, a text, something they hear, someone they see, something they smell, it could be anything.   For many tod...
