We love our children unconditionally, coworkers or superiors earn our respect. We love unconditionally even when the person we love lets us down. God loves us unconditionally, so does His son, Jesus Christ, although we are sinful by nature. That's the purest example of unconditional love.<br /><Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3616033152327236452.post-44604892235244093222010-03-11T05:52:34.238-06:002010-03-11T05:52:34.238-06:00Unconditional love comes naturally with our childr...Unconditional love comes naturally with our children...

I tend to see unconditional love as being honestly present for someone and supporting them in their own decision making, but it gets kind of complicated with children. I love our daughters madly and I am not always sure when to step in provide guidance or when to let them skin their knee and learn a life lesson.joe gerstandthttp://www.joegerstandt.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3616033152327236452.post-73746076945059572782010-03-10T04:58:15.077-06:002010-03-10T04:58:15.077-06:00I agree with all these thoughts here and yours. ...I agree with all these thoughts here and yours.

I don't think it means: Do anything crazy and I'll still coddle you with crippling, neglectful love.

In doing so, I think we are more open to unconditional love. But at the same time, I do not think loving unconditionally means you have to settle in the dating arena. Have your standards set and requirements firm on the things that matter, and then let unconditional love come into play in regards to all the Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17120763720983340131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3616033152327236452.post-61845328451987469992010-03-09T08:46:53.332-06:002010-03-09T08:46:53.332-06:00Oh, and as far as dating goes, you should not only...Oh, and as far as dating goes, you should not only unconditionally love someone but they should also fit unconditionally well in your life if you were going to marry them. I've really loved people (and even felt attracted to them) but there is no way they were marriage material. That isn't unconditional. That's just practical.Heatherlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09355263068372248035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3616033152327236452.post-22828282422514569032010-03-09T08:45:34.625-06:002010-03-09T08:45:34.625-06:00I think it is when you genuinely love someone no m...I think it is when you genuinely love someone no matter what they do.
