Thought For The Day
Why is it difficult for us to grasp the vital element of Christianity, that God loves us infinitely, that there are no boundaries to his love, no conditions to be met before he loves us?
I think the problem may be that so many of us still have trouble believing that we are loveable. If we are unable to love our selves it is difficult to believe that God loves us, especially unconditionally. If we attach conditions to our own love, and especially when trying to love ourselves, we aren't going to buy the idea that God loves us unconditionally.

ReplyDeletePadre Mickey, I think you're right. And if God's love for me is limited, then I may conclude that God's love for others is limited and conditional.
ReplyDeleteI believe you have both hit the nail on the head.
ReplyDeleteIf God loves me unconditionally, then, what is it that would prevent him from loving my enemies?
