NO MATTER WHAT WE DO

“The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.”

Jeremiah 31:3 KJV

Have you ever heard someone say “I wash my hands of you”?  No matter what we do Jesus loves us and He will always love us.  He tells us that He loves us with an everlasting love.  Knowing that He will always love us unconditionally should make us want to serve Him with all of our heart and with all of our time.

The love that Jesus has for you and for me is an unconditional love.  Our love for one another is sometimes conditional.  A wife said to her husband “If you really love me, you would do what I ask you to do”.  I’m so glad that Jesus loves us unconditionally and will always love us unconditionally.

Just as Jesus loves us unconditionally no matter what we do, we should also love our children unconditionally.  There are many children who don’t live in a home.  A home is where there is love.  In many families, there is no love.  There is just fighting, cussing and hatred which makes it a house, not a home.

May God help us to spread the love of Jesus by loving our children and one another unconditionally just as Jesus has commanded us to love one another.  We need to remember that nobody is perfect and that includes us.  If we want people to love us unconditionally, we should love others unconditionally.

Heavenly Father, we need Your help.  Please help us to love one another unconditionally.  Thank You for adopting me into Your family.  Thank You for the many times You have comforted me and encouraged me.  I love You.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
