Unconditional Love

Is there any other kind?
I don't know but probably not.
Ever heard, "Love means never having to say you're sorry?"
I think that means that if you love someone, you still love them even if they don't say, "sorry."
Love really is amazing, love goes beyond the actions or inactions of the beloved one.
Love has to do with trust, utter and complete trust but not necessarily in the one loved but in the One who is Love.

From 1 Cor. 13 Living Translation
Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

If you love someone, you will always expect the best from them, always stand your ground in defending them, you'll always believe in them. (That doesn't mean no mistakes will be made. Hey, we are people and guess what? we make mistakes...)

Love hopes all things, endures all things, believes all things.

One day all the special gifts from God will come to an end but these three will remain;
faith, hope, and love, and the greatest of these is love.

Did you get that last part? It's a gift from God. I don't think love, real love happens without God. So when someone loves you, when you love someone with that love, that's a gift from God, there's no stopping it. It doesn't end.
I heard Brain Green say once that there's some formula that holds the secret meaning of the Universe and he said maybe it's Love. Yep, Brian Greene said it and I betcha it's true.
All we need is Love, this all encompassing, ever enduring, completely trustworthy Love.

Ah, unconditional love. I believe a couple should develop sufficient of it prior to marriage to last them at least through their honeymoon. I think it can grow in depth and quality through the years if they have a good grasp of what it is. They vowed to love each other for better or for worse - that is even after they find out what they are really like.
Thanks for the other recent Posts as well, Cindy. I always enjoy links to YouTube. Also thanks for your comment to mymoss. I added a link to ABC Night Line Face Off's debate "Is Satan Real?"
