Unconditional Love

So often, we search for someone to love us no matter what we do. No matter how badly we screw up, we want this person to always be there and accept us. Let's be honest, this is hard to find in life. No matter what, people are going to have their opinions. The choices that we make are going to affect those around us. Recently, I was having a conversation with someone about how we so often try to find these people that are going to accept us. The person that I was having this conversation with is someone that I would consider a great support and someone who loves unconditionally, even if it does hurt her. One thing that she reminded me of was that we are to be imitators of Christ. This is something that can be so difficult to live out. If we want to be imitators of Christ, it means that we also need to try to love like He loves. This can be very difficult. When we are wronged my someone else, we want to run away and never look back. If we choose to love that person no matter what, we put ourselves at risk of being hurt by them again. Regardless, I want to follow Christ and choose to love like He has loved. Today, I want to choose to love those who are most difficult to love.
