My husband was serving as an elder and so the pain of those who left spilled into our home and family. But God.<br />I praise HIM for His unconditional, everlasting LOVE. <br />How wonderful that we can experience it and offer to others!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13742425014656556927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4378121614850709360.post-32239655386979318892010-09-01T16:14:26.121-07:002010-09-01T16:14:26.121-07:00Glynnis, I appreciate your honesty.

I met a girl at She Speaks this year named Kirsten. The woman oozed the love of Jesus. Seriously. And I knew God sent her to me to show me how to love. She was literally a Jesus magnet as she encouraged and poured love into every woman she came into contact with. The Lord taught me through her example,as she reminded me during one conversation how "love covers a multitude of sins." I think when you have a black-and-white personality like I do it can be hard to love. Right is right and wrong is wrong. But God is unveiling the definition of "grace" in a new way during this season of my life. I am so thankful we serve a God who showers His unmerited favor upon us.Stephanie Garneauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11294421946198070346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4378121614850709360.post-17095410643140677832010-09-01T14:31:49.375-07:002010-09-01T14:31:49.375-07:00Yet another nudge/reminder from God about loving o...Yet another nudge/reminder from God about loving others unconditionally. To respond to a very painful circumstance in my life right now according to my self-centered human nature would be to lash out in anger or to simply shut a person out. However, God has been gently reminding me that He calls me to love as He does, unconditionally. It is a daily walk, allowing Him to love through me, when I don't have the strenght (and some days, not even the desire) to do so. <br /><br />Yet, I must. Because He does.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08136566957854525234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4378121614850709360.post-24850100995467460652010-09-01T12:43:26.051-07:002010-09-01T12:43:26.051-07:00What a timely post, Glynnis, and so so true.

It must have something to do with getting "up there" in years, because I sense the same thing. <br /><br />Really, it all boils down to loving through thick and thin, loving whether it's convenient or not, and trusting that God's love never fails.<br /><br />It's a prayer I'll never stop praying: "God, give me YOUR love for people!"<br /><br />Hugs to you!Julie Gillieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16043208077641628180noreply@blogger.com
