Unconditional love! It is almost, if not totally, impossible for us to comprehend the terms. As humans, we place so many conditions on love. Are they lovable? Do they treat me with respect? Is my love reciprocated?
That's not so with God's love for us. He loves us passionately and unconditionally. Allow that last word to sink in. Unconditionally. There is nothing we can do to make Him love us more. There is nothing we can do to make Him love us less. Impossible to comprehend? Perhaps. True? Absolutely.
Recall the words of the Apostle Paul in Romans 8:38-39 (NLT): “And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from His love. Death can’t, and life can’t. The angels can’t, and the demons can’t. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, and even the powers of hell can’t keep God’s love away. Whether we are high above the sky or in the deepest ocean, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
What can separate His love from us? Death or life can't. Angels or demons can't. Our own fears and worries can't (admit it, every once in a while, don't you fear or worry that He doesn't love you?). Our own emotions can't. Whether we are on highs to the skies or lows to the deepest oceans, He still loves us.
Impossible? Perhaps in our realm. But remember, He is not on our realm. He loves you. As you prepare to unleash the potential of your life, it begins with the realization that success or failure doesn't change God's love for you.
