1 John 4:18

I can see clearly now the rain is gone:) haha all the praying last night has definitely helped. I went into work for four hours and that was a lot of time to help clear my head too. I just keep remembering, "God may not put the people you want in your life but he will definitely put the people you need". Pretty short day for the most part haha I woke up at 3:30 and now I am going to bed at 12:30 :P
I have become curious as to the meaning of two words.

unconditional love

What is it and who can give it? What kind of relationships is it in? Do we only receive unconditional love? I mean we are humans and it doesn't seem like unconditional is in our word bank. For some reason I was under the impression marriage is where it would take place, you know for sicker or poorer but I know one married couple who have three children, and have been married for 16 years yet they have a pact that if one of them starts to get fat they will divorce the other. Thats not for sicker or poorer. Its not that I am criticizing them I mean we are all human we can't forgive everything, my mom has always said there are two situations she would leave my dad, cheating or abuse. I think my thing would either be unsupportive or control issues. Those seem to be what hurt all my relationships and my breaking point. I don't think as humans we are able to give unconditional love. There is no love coming from a human that does not have conditions. The only love we truly have that is unconditional is God's love for us. He doesn't care who you are or what you are doing he loves you. Even those who hate him. Even those that call themselves women and men of God and are giving him a bad name he loves you. Now I am not saying he agrees with you or is proud of you and he is probably disappointed in you. But none the less he still loves you. "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love." So we know that there is no fear in perfect love, such as worrying if they are going to leave you, etc, etc but how does perfect compare to unconditional? I am thinking they are more than likely the same. Well its funny how this all came into my thoughts right around that time of the year :) Valentines day!!
