Unconditional Love
What do these two words mean?
I never really thought about the meaning. It was just a couple of words used together.
The past couple of years I have fully understood what it means to put the two words into action.
It means loving someone without control, constraints, consequences. To love no matter what!
I have a beautiful, talented , smart daughter. I love her unconditionally! I will admit the last two years have been tough.
Although I have been angry or upset with her choices at times, I have found a steady, consistent, unwavering love that will never go away.
There are times it would be easier to not feel the intense love. Because it hurts! That’s how you know it’s unconditional. You love even when it hurts!
I cannot imagine “NOT Loving” her!
She’s struggling. There is nothing she could do that would erase the love I have for her.
When someone you love is making it difficult to show your love, “you simply must continue to show love however you can.”
I didn’t receive hugs and mental support as a child. It’s difficult to give something you didn’t receive. You simply don’t have the knowledge.
It’s like standing in front of a crowd to explain something you know nothing about. It’s impossible. Like teaching a foreign language you didn’t learn.
How can I teach her what I don’t know?
I am learning that even though I didn’t receive it. I needed it! As hard as it is to learn by yourself, you have to!
Your children are worth every uncomfortable embrace. Just do it! Even if it’s awkward.
Eventually the awkwardness falls away and you realize you needed it as much as they did. Maybe more!
I could never stop loving and supporting my babies UNCONDITIONAL LOVE won’t allow it!
I am just beginning to understand the Love my Heavenly Father has for me! Although I don’t see any reason He should, He still does!
Why? Because I am His child and nothing I have done will change His love for me!
I believe my daughter’s struggles have been a lesson for me! I get it! I finally get it!
