I need unconditional love.
My heart needs it worse than oxygen.
My life is miserable without it.
Someone has offered to love me unconditionally.
His body still holds the scars of His adventure to prove this great love.
But I turn from Him, I turn from Him because I don’t understand His love.
How could He love me when I fail Him continually?
How could He want me when I must ask His forgiveness more times than not?
How could He delight in me when I am worthless to Him?
You see as badly as I need unconditional love, I don’t believe in it.
I don’t think it’s possible.
I don’t think it’s possible for someone to love me when I let them down every hour.
How can He love me when I say one thing and live another?
How can this love be there no matter what I do?
Love never works that way. Never.
Isn’t love supposed to be returned?
When someone loves you don’t you try to somehow be worth loving?
I have proven over and over that I am not worth loving.
Unconditional love reaches for me.
It’s there even though I ignore it.
He loves me even still.
My heart needs it.
But I am ever so skeptical.
To turn away, or not to turn away?

This is beautiful......Thanks so much for writing it. I have puzzled over the fact of God's love....Why and how can he love such a sinner like me????? I step close to him and then fall away and still he loves me with undying love...Thank you Jesus.....Heidi
the love of God is far beyond what I can ever imagine or comprehend. It's beautiful. Thank you for writing this - it stirs my soul. :)
Love you dear Brit...
Amazing Love... It takes the simplistic trust of a child I think to just accept and rest in His love. Adults complicate things. This really is beautiful... just like you. =) Love u!
