Struggling between letting someone I love go, and loving them unconditionally. And I'm not sure I know the difference or if there even is one. I believe God loves radically and unconditionally yet at the same time, I see Him turning over His people to reprobation, chastising them and being angry with them. Does He stop loving them? I don't think so. I think it probably breaks His heart to withdraw His blessings from them. He does this perfectly. I'm not Him. I know my limits. I understand to some degree why I struggle. Where does He draw the line? Where do we? Do we even? How do you begin to love unconditionally?
I don't know the answers to some of these questions but I have the desire to love unconditionally, in my heart. At least sometimes. My heart is breaking and I'm in a place where I have to figure it all out in a very short time. I certainly hope that I can.
At the moment, all I can do is cry out to the One who knows how to love unconditionally, to teach me what that looks like and ask Him to help me to be transformed because the desire alone is not sufficient.
God help me!

About Me
- atti2dchic
- I'm a Christian who questions many of the commonly held beliefs of evangelical Christianity. I don't claim to know it all nor do I expect I ever will. But in a few areas, I have found answers that satisfy my desire to understand. And I continue to hunger and thirst for Him. To know Him and to worship Him in spirit and in truth.
