Receiving God's Unconditional Love
By Jeffrey Hardwick
Have you ever tried to earn love? Do you believe you deserve unconditional love? The good news is love is neither earn-able nor deserving. Imagine freely receiving love without having to do something to earn it. God loves you based on WHO you are not on what you do. When you came out of your mother's womb, your family loved you because you were part of their family. They did not love you because you DID something for them. True love is based on relationship not works.
You were created to freely receive God's love not based on anything you could do to earn it, but solely on who you are. Once you understand these life changing truths, you will be free from trying to perform and earn God's love. There is NOTHING you can do to be worthy enough to receive the free, unconditional love from God. He does not require anything on your part to love you. He simply loves you because He is Love. His nature is to love you no matter what you do, think, believe, say or do. Whatever you have ever done in your life, God still loves you.
When you begin to see how simple it is to accept God's love for you, your life will dramatically change. God gave us two commandments with the ability to do both of them: Love God and love one another. Why would He tell you to do something without giving you the ability to do them? Since God said to love Him and love one another, then you can do it. He says you can do all things through Christ Who strengthens you. (Philippians 4:13)
If you could choose how to be loved would you prefer being loved solely on who you are or based on your performance? Which one is easier to do? Loving one another based on who they are is so freeing for you and the person you are loving because nothing they do is required to be loved. God is not asking you to DO anything to receive His unconditional love He has for you. He simply desires for you to believe that He loves you just as you, without any changes necessary.
What is so amazing about God's love for you is that it has been available to you ever since you were born. Maybe you were never told that God loves you. Maybe you never realized He loves you because of who you are. Its possible you never experienced love in your life simply because of who you are. Well, today you have the opportunity to receive God's unconditional love He has just for you. He loves you as a special, one of a kind, precious child just like a loving parent does with their child.
It took me years to understand, accept, believe and know God's love for me. Now I know and believe God loves me. What I also realize is that I also love God. He loves me and I love Him simply because of relationship and not because of religion. I also understand that people love me and I now love others not because they do anything for me, but because I CHOOSE to love them because of who they are. Receiving God's unconditional love for you is a choice. Its available to you right now. Are you ready to receive His love for you? Just ask Him for it. He wants you to experience His awesome love He has just for you.
The choice is up to you.
