Loving Unconditionally..!

During Lent, a question asked frequently is, “Why would a God die on a cross for His people?”
And then I have to explain what unconditional love is.
Can we love someone too much?
I know my God did, and that’s why His son died so that my sins could be forgiven, since my punishment was taken over by someone else.
Can you and I love someone too much?
Perhaps you can show the wrong kind of love, but I’m sure you can’t show too much.
There is this story of a woman who finally decided to ask her boss for a raise in salary. All day she felt nervous and apprehensive. Late in the afternoon she summoned the courage to approach her employer. To her delight, the boss agreed to a raise.
The woman arrived home that evening to a beautiful table set with their best dishes. Candles were softly glowing. Her husband had come home early and prepared a festive meal. She wondered if someone from the office had tipped him off. Or did he just somehow know that she would not get turned down?
She found him in the kitchen and told him the good news. They embraced and kissed, then sat down to the wonderful meal. Next to her plate the woman found a beautifully lettered note. It read: “Congratulations, darling! I knew you’d get the raise! These things will tell you how much I love you.”
The supper was perfect. Afterward, her husband went into the kitchen to clean up, and as he left the room she noticed a second card that had fallen from his pocket. Picking it off the floor, she read: “Don’t worry about not getting the raise. You deserve it anyway! These things will tell you how much I love you.”
Someone has said that the measure of love is when you love without measure. What this man tried to convey to his spouse was total acceptance and love. Whether she succeeded or failed, whether she won or lost, he loved her regardless. Love without measure. Sometimes his love might celebrate her victories and other times it was there to soothe and comfort.
Upon receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, Mother Teresa said: “What can you do to promote world peace? Go home and love your family.”
Yes, love your family, and also love your friends. For some friends are truly family. Love the people in your life. Love them without measure. And don’t worry about spoilage. Potatoes spoil, people don’t spoil..!

  1. “Love is not love which alters it when alteration finds, or bends with the remover to remove.”
    William Shakespeare

  2. Love is kind, love is patient, …it is not self-seeking, etc. I didn’t say that but a Mr. Paul said that. You know him very well. Thanks Bob, for the piece.

  3. Greater love has no man than this that Christ died for us while we were yet sinners. God commanded us to love God with all our heart, soul and mind. He credits what we do for the poor as done for Him.
