A thought to ponder…
Yesterday during worship our pastor shared these words: “to say that God loves us without condition is not to say that God approves of every behavior” God loves us all unconditionally, that is the meaning of agape. When agape love is practiced it overlooks the faults and it expect nothing in return. God is the perfecter of agape love, He is our example of how we are to love others. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could all practice agape love all the time, but as humans we tend to fall into the practice of expecting something in return. As I listened to my pastor speak a word to us I thought a lot about how God loves me, unconditionally. However, it was the last part of the statement that gave me cause for concern. God may love me unconditionally but He does not always approve of my behavior. When I look at the course of my day I have to confess that there are many thing that occupy my time that do not glorify God. Television… That’s a huge one for me. I find that I do so...
