Loving unconditionally

Love is such a powerful word.  It’s powerful because it can change people lives.    We all have different qualities and if you know how to love, you have been truly blessed.  If you don’t know, you need to ask God to help you.  We are going to witness a lot of evil around us and people are really going to suffer.  This is why love is so important.  When we don’t follow Jesus and are living for ourselves, we’re just not going to love unconditionally.  You have to gain a relationship with God to know how to love because it’s not that easy when people are negative towards you. 
 
God is the only person who can show you how to love when people aren’t living for God.  They don’t know how to love.  Jesus talked about love all the time.  When people are negative towards you, they need your love.  I told you before that the bible is a mystery but I know for a fact that Jesus is all about love.  I know that because he loves me and he helps me to live each day.  He forgives me and he gives me chances each day to live.  That’s love and thank you Jesus for loving me. 
 
We all have love within us but we have to allow our love to show.  Love serves no purpose if you don’t share it.  Loving and loving unconditionally is a little different.  Loving is good but loving unconditionally is wonderful and it helps us to enjoy life more.  I say this because we’re putting stress on our lives when we can’t accept situations.  You can tell when someone is not loving unconditionally.  Every time someone acts mean to others or can’t accept what people has done to them, they are not loving unconditionally.  You can’t be happy or get the inner peace in life if you can’t love and forgive others for all things. We don’t have to deal with people on a day to day basic but love comes from the heart.  That’s just plain simple. 
 
Unconditional Love is accepting people for who they are through their faults. That means accepting pain and suffering. This is how you can tell who really cares and who doesn’t from their decisions and actions.  Words just can’t express the impact that love has on my happiness or should I say inner peace.  By loving people unconditionally, it takes so much stress away and it stops bad situations from coming in my life.  It’s like a guard to protect me from evil.  We all need love and when we give love we receive love.
 
I see God working in my life when I’m able to love.  God wants all of us to enjoy life.  As long as you’re negative & not loving his people, you will never have peace or be happy.  God loves his children and everything turns back to love in situations.  A lot of people feel that they serve no purpose and their useless. Let me tell you that if you know how to love unconditionally, you are serving a purpose.  God will reveal other things to you but you have to start with loving his people.  There’s one thing to watch out for when you love, that’s people taking advantage of you.  People like nice people.  Let’s clarify that issue.  It doesn’t matter where you came from; you have to know how to hold your own.  Stand up and don’t let people take advantage of you.  It’s okay if you have to back track a little.  At least you won’t have to put up with nonsense.  So when I say love people, let them know where you’re coming from.
 
I just have to share something that my mother taught me.  This message stayed in my mind for years.  She said be nice to people even when they’re mean.  You have to learn to love all people.  On the other hand, don’t you even act like you’re scared of anything or anybody.  She said if you’re in a situation in life where you’re afraid to fight the battle, try and do your best; even if you feel like you have lost, you have won.  You have won because you tried and that’s courage and confidence.  So let people know that they can’t walk over you.  Yes, you may lose some friends but if that happens, it was just meant to be.  That helped me in so many ways and I really want to thank my mother for giving me that important message in life.  This message really didn’t hit me until I found myself but it’s “all good.”  If you love people unconditionally and people don’t accept you for you, then just give it to God because we really don’t know what’s happening in people’s lives.  It appears like they don’t care but really we can’t worry about other people because we have to answer to God.  Don’t allow people to hurt you by loving them or being nice but just do what’s best for you and God.  Unconditional Love will give you so much joy and you will be able to have peace with life.
