When you love conditionally, you have to keep deciding if the other is worthy of your love. You can never let go of your guard enough to be content. Why not decide once and for all, and love once and for all. And be content.
i saw this and i was touched. Today. God, help me to love and help me to not hate doing Biology notes. May Your heart beat within me today...
I am who God says I am. Not whom others say/think I am. A very important truth to hold on to because everyone is already critisizing you, you don't wanna join them and criticize yourself to. God looks upon you in adoration just the way you are even if you don't live up to other people's 'ideas' and 'standards' of who you should be. So shake all of that off, and let yourself only be defined by how God sees you and what He thinks of you. He sees strength when others see weakness. He sees potential when others see failure. He looks at all you are, and He says my child I am well pleased with you, and I will bring my good work in you unto completion. Imagine that, unconditonal acceptance and love and kindness and grace, because of who you are, exactly the way you are, not because of what you do. He told me once, 'I love you for who you are and I will never ever leave you'. I know I can find who I am in the arms of my Father.
