Who do you love unconditionally?
I stole this from Amy because she said exactly what I would say!!
In the short time I
have been a mother, I have learned something incredibly valuable from my
children. I have learned what unconditional love is. There is nothing that my
children could do or say to make it possible for me to stop loving them. I
think there are very few relationships we have on this earth that truly hold
unconditional love. Even the deep love I have for my husband, has conditions to
it. Our love for one another could be broken if those conditions are not met or
a commitment is broken.
With my children I
can't imagine a single thing they could do to make me stop loving them. They
could steal, hurt, murder and I would still love them even if I had extreme
disappointment in their actions. Of course I could never imagine one of my
little angels doing anything like that, but they will disappoint me from time
to time and that will not affect my love for them one little bit!
Having children has
given me a completely new understanding of how God's love for us works. I can
understand it now! We are His children and there is nothing we can do to make
him stop loving us. I never got that before. I never understood how he could
love me enough to let His pride and joy die for me. I continually disappoint
Him, but He still loves! That does not mean, He is never disappointed in the
things I do or that there are not consequences for my actions - but He loves me
just the same. It is pretty incredible to think about, and amazing how much I
have learned about my own salvation through my little ones.
