A really good friend of mine was sharing with me one day that she had told her husband that she loves him unconditionally, and that nothing would ever change that, but, there are times that she just doesn't like him. Have you ever felt that way? If you say you haven't, you may be lying.
There are times that the ones we love the most, the deepest, the fullest still get on our ever lasting nerve. We know they don't mean to, nor do we mean to get on theirs but it happens. It doesn't even take much, at times, to really try the patience of those that we love the most, and vice versa.
Today's word is just a thought that I had from that conversation and from the sermon Brother Danny preached Sunday night: We may not always LIKE each other but our LOVE for one another should be like GOD'S - unconditional and eternal.
Do you think you ever do anything that gets on GOD'S nerve? Do you think you ever do anything that He doesn't like? Do you ever think you do things that GOD finds completely and totally unacceptable? We all do. Do you think He ever stops loving us just because He doesn't like our attitude or what we do? He NEVER stops loving us.
We seem to attach conditions to our love. We want to love everyone but only if they can give something in return. (Now, pay attention, I love everyone but there are some that I am better off to not associate with or to be around). There will be those that are HARD to love; trust me, I am one. Yet, if GOD can love me despite my sorry self, why can I not love everyone else?
Yes, there will be times that you will not like me. There will be times that I may not like you. But, there will never be a time when I do not love you!
Be Blessed,
