This past week I have felt kind of...alone, in the area of where God is concerned. I cant seem to find the right words to describe the way that I have been feeling so I apologize for that.
On my way home from work the other day I was trying to pray and seek answers as to why I feel so distant, if you will. The only thing that I got out of it was The Passion of the Christ-watch it...watch it...rewatch it!
"Ugh...what a sad movie to watch. I don't want to watch that movie again" I fought it. I took my night time bath and found myself sitting at my DVD player, putting in that movie, thinking to myself "what am I doing? I do not want to watch this".
I put it in and as it was loading I prayed for whatever it was that He wanted me to get out of this movie, I would.
The last time I watched that movie was when I first- I mean FIRST- became a Christian.
From the first minute, I was hooked.
What an amazing God we serve. Through the horror of His death, we have life. The love He has for his children is...amazing. The other night as the movie ended, I sat in amazement, in awe, humbled.
It was just what I needed.

Unconditionally loved
Unconditional
1 : not conditional or limited
What does it mean to love "unconditionally"? To love without limit? I am a mother so I know how to love, I know what it feels like to love your child no matter what.
Why is it sometimes so hard to understand that God loves us unconditionally?
Today in service pastor mentioned that we cant earn our love from God, that no matter what we do we are incapable of earning love. We can give thousands of dollars to churches and organizations, we can teach Sunday school, feed homeless...any thing, and still not earn His love.
In a world were we have to earn everything to survive, the idea of unconditional love is kind of scary. It almost feels more comfortable to earn His love then for Him to just give it.
Why?
What I can say about all of this, is that God is so amazing! I am not always a person that deserves that kind of love, but, He gives it anyway!
This week I am going to reflect on this truth- That's I can not earn Christs love and that He loves me all the time...no matter what.
Have a blessed week!
