Love takes on different forms. There is the love of a child to a parent and vice versa, there is a love for friends and family. But those types of love pales in comparison to a love that your heart seeks throughout life. That is romantic love. Love for another person seems to trump all other types of love. This type of love is something majority of us work for. It is the one that also breaks our hearts when the love is unrequited. Weaker people become obsessed and some even weaker feel their world is ending when a spouse of a lover leaves. It is the most hurtful type of love or betrayal of that love.
Most of these types of love is conditional. We expect the other person to love us the way we want to be loved but more often than not, we are disappointed with what we get instead. Some people are difficult to love perhaps because they don’t really know how to love in return.
Everything in the media will revert back to love. Love makes people create movies, write songs, in relation to their own individual experiences that may be no different than what millions of others have been through. Generation to generation, it stays the same. Humans like us will always disappoint other humans no matter how careful we are.
There is but one type of love that never ceases, it is the easiest love to acquire. People who are so imperfect have many conditions. The one and only love that is unconditional is God’s love.
How is that even possible? God, the most powerful being in the entire universe and beyond loves so unconditional and what boggles my mind even more is that it is US that He loves! Some people are selfish enough to require love 24/7 without giving the same in return but God loves us whether we love Him back or not.
God asks for so little. A mustard seed-sized faith. That’s it! Do you know that a mustard seed is the smallest of all seeds? He asks for no more than that. But a mustard seed, as long as it is alive and well in our hearts can’t help but grow bigger and bigger until it consumes our imperfect hearts! If God can love one person who has a mustard seed sized love and faith for Him, how much bigger can that love from God be for a person who loves Him back with all of their heart and how favored are they?
With this type of love, if given to one another, drama and heartbreak songs would cease to exist and matter less and less. The Love for God is the most awesome love story you will ever encounter or experience.
“You don’t have enough faith,” Jesus told them. “I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.” Matthew 17:20 NLT
