His Love is Unconditional.

A comforting assurance. His love is unconditional.

While he gets angry at our persistent propensity to do all the wrongs, he extends undeserved grace to us whenever we return to his presence. His does not look at our past to determine how he ought to treat us now, he instead looks at what we could become, and despite of our short sightedness and difficulties to have faith, he sees the glorious future when we could soar on wings like eagles, run and not grow weary, walk and not be faint. If we would just wait on him. There's just too many distractions in our lives, too many misplaced priorities and misguided notions.

The fact remains. he sees what we could achieve in our lifetime, could we dare to realise our potential in him? I can do all things in him who strengthens me, says the apostle. Dare we say the same? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, he is with us wherever we go. Through the trials and tribulations, he is with us. He refines us to stand the test of time. He will burn all that is temporary, purifying us and what remains is eternal.

My hope is in him. In him will I put my trust! In him whose love for me is unconditional, I pledge my allegiance.

To the God of my salvation, I praise you! May my life be as worship to you!

For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.
Romans 6:14

but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
Isaiah 40:31

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."
Joshua 1:9

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
James 1:2-4
