el amor incondicional

it doesn't make sense. it's anything but rational. it's not just a feeling. not just an emotion. when i look to the example of Christ i see a reflection of these things. it didn't make sense to any of his closest friends. it was by far a rational decision; to take the blame for something he didn't do, all for the sake of saving the ones he loves. he is a real man. he feared the outcome of his decision of love. it was the hardest thing he ever did and none of us can ever comprehend the gravity of this decision. i pray that i can live my life with a fraction of this love for other people.

this love between God - through Jesus - and his children is beautiful. and over the past few months i have seen glimpses of it. unconditional. without condition. our love at the best of times is flawed. but WOW when i see God's love in action...there is nothing more beautiful. it's contagious. and it's our call and duty to love as Jesus loved. the smallest action, the softest of words can have the biggest impact. but why stop there. do something BIG. don't just help an old lady cross the street and consider your good deed done for the day. Breathe in your God. Soak him in every day so that he seeps out of your pores. So that everyone you come into contact with will see that you walk with the Creator. Like Moses when his face was shining with the glory of the Lord. He wasn't more "holy" than anyone else. He simply had the desire to walk with the Lord and he sought his face.
there are some people that are a little harder to love which challenges me. and there are some people who teach me more about love. there are some people who allow me to better grasp the unconditional love of Christ. i am blessed.
