Unconditional Love

I believe that we have forgotten what unconditional love is. I believe that we start out with the intentions to love our partner unconditionally but once something comes up that is unexpected or ugly or something we don't like or something we can't handle we bail, we jump ship. But I think this is stuff we need to turn over to God, let God handle the ugliness, He handles our ugliness why can't he handle the ugliness of a relationship.

I don't have the best past when it comes to relationships. I have been with guy after guy that either said he believed in God, but didn't have the faith to back it up or a guy that said he didn't believe in God. The Bible says we need to be equally yoked and I never took that advice, however I believe it is necessary for multiple reasons. 1- If you are with someone who understands and has the same faith in God that you have, they will understand why you believe everything will work out. And they will believe the same thing. You will much more willing to work through the hard stuff. 2- I'm going to try to describe an illustration, so please bare with me. Let's say your partner is not a believer. Let's say you are the Christian and you are standing on a table and your partner is standing on the ground, and now you grab each other's hands and start pulling. What's going to happen? I can tell you that 99.9% of the time you are going to be pulled off that table. Why? Because it is so much easier to pull down that it is to pull up. God is the God of the impossible and He may have you in a relationship with a non Christian for a reason. But please make sure the relationship is of Him and you are walking in His steps because if you don't you will be pulled down. I know, I've been there. I've been pulled. But I refuse to let it happen again. I will not be pulled down.

Pray and have faith in Him. He loves you and wants only what's best for you.
