And then I get told, "It's not about it working. It's about the things you learn."
I opened my book "the importance of being foolish" and read the following "The love of Jesus for Peter lay in his complete and unconditional acceptance of him. We who so automatically place conditions on our love (“If you really loved me you would …”) fail to see that this is an exchange, not unconditional love. (We tack on one of our addictions to finish the sentence.)"
In my quest to become more like Jesus, I tend to leave out the hardships.
How many times has Jesus had unrequited love?
Does he yet ever shower us with unconditional love?
"Love, as Christ loved the church." It's not about what you get in return, it's about what you give.
And as usual, I failed.
