LOVE<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\nUnconditional Love<\/em><\/h3>\n

\n\u201cAbove all, love each other deeply\u2026” – 1 Peter 4:8
\nUnconditional love is known as affection without any
\nlimitations, or love without conditions. True,
\nunconditional love doesn’t run away when things get
\ntough. Someone who loves unconditionally not only
\nloves the other person despite their flaws, but, they also
\nlove them because of them!
\nThe easiest example is our love of our family with our children being the prime example.<\/h3>\n

\nUnconditional Love Is Powerful<\/em><\/h3>\n

\nWhen we love unconditionally, and when we receive unconditional
\nlove, we find that there is power in those feelings and actions. We
\nfind hope. We find courage. Things we never knew to expect,
\ncome from giving to one another without any expectations.
\n1 Corinthians 13:4-7 says: \u201cLove is patient, love is kind. It does not
\nenvy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonour others,
\nit is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of
\nwrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always
\nprotects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres.\u201d<\/h3>\n

\nSometimes Unconditional Love Is Hard<\/em><\/h3>\n

\nWhen we love unconditionally, it means that we even have to love people in tough times. This means
\nloving someone when they\u2019re being rude or inconsiderate. It also means loving our
\nenemies. Unconditional love takes work.
\nMatthew 5:43-48 says: \u201cYou have heard people say, \u2018Love your neighbours and hate your enemies.\u2019 But
\nI tell you to love your enemies and pray for anyone who mistreats you. Then you will be acting like your
\nFather in heaven. He makes the sun rise on both good and bad people. And he sends rain for the ones
\nwho do right and for the ones who do wrong. If you love only those people who love you, will God
\nreward you for that? Even tax collectors love their friends. If you
\ngreet only your friends, what\u2019s so great about that?\u201d<\/h3>\n

\nLOVE today<\/em>
\nHow does Love from others make you feel? Love can be expressed
\nin so many ways. A hug, a kiss, a \u201cwell done!\u201d or an \u201cI love you\u201d
\nare immediately recognised as expressions of love. Other
\nexpressions may be more subtle. Showing interest in others lives,
\nshowing kindness and patience, going out of our way to make
\nsomeone feel special – these, too, communicate love.
\nFortunately, great amounts of time are not required for us to begin
\nexpressing more love. Seconds and minutes are sufficient to lay a
\ngentle hand on a shoulder, to sit together, share a gentle smile or
\nthe holding of a hand.<\/h3>\n

\nSo as we feel the warmth of summer, let\u2019s consider the importance
\nof love. Let\u2019s give more of ourselves & show more love in the
\nthings we do & the words we say to those around us.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
