If you ask me, "Does God love us unconditionally?" I would say, "With out a doubt." But if asked do I truly believe it...if asked how I lived that love...it is much harder.
What would I do with my life if I didn't spend so much time proving that I am worth loving. All of my positions, all of my titles, all of my degrees, all of my stuff is wrapped up in proving to the world that I am good enough to love. It seems to me that it is much easier to work for God's love then to believe that we are already loved and live into it.
What would life look like if we really bought into God's unconditional love. What would life look like lived with out the anxiety and fear that we are not worth being loved?
Yesterday my daughter and I were playing a game we play in our family. It is the "I love you more" game. I love you more...No I love you more...I love you the mostest...I love you more then that...I love you infinity...I love you infinity on top of that...I love you the most ever...and then my daughter said..."Nauh, not as much as God loves me." I said, "Well that is easy for God. God is made out of love." She said, "Really? I like that." I am thankful that my daughter knows the love of God, and feels comfortable with it. I hope she never looses that.
