Love without condition
"I love you as you are, as you seek to find your own special way to relate to the world, or the way you feel that is right for you. It is important that you are the person you want to be and not someone that I or others think you should be."

unconditional love is the most precious gift you can give to another.  god is the only judge and people are flawed.  to accept this and accepting yourself is true freedom.  it's all about forgiveness and understanding.  it's rare but how much easier life would be for us all.


humility-in a nut shell

How God speaks through others when I need it. I need not get into the details mostly because I know "my part" in something I am going through right now. Taking a risk (not drinking, no worries there today). I've been doing quite abit of pretty deep thinking the last couple of days. I think a love is setting conditions on me and I need to respect myself enough to set some boundaries for myself, well simply respect myself PERIOD. this is new territory for me. I think what I have the most difficulty with is saying what I mean and not letting people walk all over me or even not walking all over myself. It's tough , it hurts. I haven't gone so far as any actions, I'm still in the process of mulling. For the first time in this kind of situation I'm putting myself first, being selfish in a different way. Like It was suggested top me in an earlier post..."get some brass ones girl..."


That hit home.


Anyway, i'm rambling here a bit, thats how crazy my thinking is today I know what i SHOULD do, i know what I NEED to do, but the addict in me usually does what she WANTS.


this is where i'm mulling over change. Nothin' changes if nothin' changes they say.


I gotta unconditionally love Wendy. I gotta be me, not someone someone else thinks I should be.


I must keep working on accepting me, the good, the bad and the ugly.


I know God has a plan for me. Faith.


I don't have to settle for anything less than honest acceptance. I wonder how many people on this earth really don't know what love is? Not to mention that true love is UNCONDITIONAL.


Thanks for this post, I needed it tonight.


hugs , Wendy

The sufferings of love should ennoble, not degrade.
--George Sand


Only in the imagination does love promise happiness forever. Through experience, we discover the myriad dimensions of love. Sometimes love is joy. Sometimes passion. Sometimes moments of serenity amongst the laughter and sadness. Generally, love is soft. But it also may sting. Love is forever changing, perhaps a smile will slow our pace one minute, but a sign of danger may push us to act, to respond, to make a decision the next.


All that love is, there's much it is not. Love is not shaming. Nor is it punishing. Love does not gloat, criticize, degrade, or diminish. At times we think we're filled with love and yet we selfishly serve our needs before another's. And when we truly express our love to another, there's no mistaking the warm glow that fills the body.


How simple to be a giver of love and yet how forgetful we are when the opportunities arise.
