Unconditional Love

Only you, one person on this earth can see into your soul. You can have best friends, boyfriends, husbands, parents, or other loved ones, but they will never truly know all of your thoughts, dreams, insights, feelings, or genuinely know the complete essence of your soul. Only you can see, feel, and know. It feels lonely to know that only you can truly understand, you, to the fullest, but with that comes a sense of comfort. Because I know for me, there’s a lot more evil and darkness that I would rather not expose about myself. Secrets about my past and how I really feel, how I perceive others, even myself, those thoughts are only for me to know how truly evil spirited I can be. And I like that I can hide that from anybody I want. I can shield myself of the humiliation and disgrace it would bring to me. I don’t think anybody, no matter how much they loved me, even my parents, could stand to see inside of my soul. So when people say those words. Those three extremely simple ones that I let out a littler quicker than I should, it never fully penetrates my heart, knowing that they say those words with the amount they know.
Love, on this earth is conditional.

I really don’t feel that humans are capable of unconditional love and even the mere idea of it is so abstract. But, if we actually think about what unconditional love means, there’s no human capable of having that much love inside of them to give it in the first place. And how we maintain relationships with each other is a wonder. Friends, lovers, family, we’re all sinners, innately filled with so much darkness, how we can stand to love each other to the extent in which our miniscule hears can is still a wonder. But, there’s something to change all of that. He completely destroys our selfish hearts that don’t know how to love, and He loves. He loves with an unconditional love. A love that has no end, that has no exceptions, a love that knows everything in your soul, every dark thought and desire, and still loves. He reaches into the darkness of our souls and cleans it and helps us to love. And we run away, we’re embarrassed, we pretend like we don’t know of his love, we don’t share his love with others, we abuse his love, we test his love, we even throw it away at times, and yet, He still loves. And that love isn’t any less than what it was before. It isn’t any less every time we stab His heart with our sin. His love remains the same, unchanging, incapable of decreasing in value or worth, incapable of limiting His grace or mercy, incapable of ever turning his head from us and forsaking us. No matter how much we run away, His love captures us and brings us home, it is always in our hearts, always comforting and taking care of us. Always telling us that it’s okay, that whatever we’ve done, its okay and He says I know, you’re going to hurt me more, and try to run away again, but that’s okay too…because, I love you.

And that, is God’s love. His unconditional, never failing, more than we will ever be able to feel, love.
Unconditional Love.
