Unconditonal, Uncircumstantial Love.....

That's what God has for us. That's what Jesus had and what he lived out every day of his life, in every situation. So hear is my question.... Why do we settle for so much less than that? If we have been forgiven for everything that we have ever done, and for that matter, everything we ever will do, why don't we do the same to everyone else? Seriously... think about it. We have the comfort of knowing that nothing we can ever do will change the fact that God loves us, He always has and He always will.
Look at the life of Jesus. He knew that God loved him so much, and he was filled with that love, but it didnt just stop there, he lived out that love. He lived out an awesome, radical, life-changing love. His overflowing love touched people, and it changed their lives. Granted, Jesus was perfect, and we are not, but we have been given the same love and power that he had. The very spirit of God that was living and working through Jesus, is living in us.
Think about the potential that we have to change the world. What would happen if we just started loving people like crazy, showing an unconditional, uncircumstantial love to everyone around us. Even when it gets tough, when people are being difficult and are hurtful to us or when we have to sacrifice and give up something in order to show that we care. God is showing me the importance of living out a radical, life-changing love, not just talking about how much God loves people and how wonderful His love makes me feel, but living that love out. He is opening my mind to the potential of how many people I can reach and encourage through this concept. What about you? Think about it.....
