Hello everyone,
Welcome to my blog.
There’s no better feeling than loving someone or being loved.
Wanting unconditional love is an understandable desire that is desired by everyone.
As often said, love is a beautiful thing, but love can only be be beautiful when it is reciprocated. Love is the only topic that is inexhaustible, because nobody has discovered the dept or height of love yet. Love is one thing that can be tested to see the genuineness of it, and gaining deeper understanding of what unconditional love is and what may not help us find a healthy connection in our life.
Although people have their different definitions of love, some tends to have conditional love while others unconditional love. But in all the love we have for both our spouses, friends or family will be tested, and the love stands the test of those times, will it persevere, endure and stand strong to support and encourage, or will it despise, reject and abandon it, then move on to the next available one?
Unconditional love is the only love I believe can stand the test of time, because it's not but on the foundation of wealth or the person's personality or wealth or other material things. I believe that if I have reasons to love, then I don't love, because when those things i love are no more i tend to end the love.
Love is practically, let's look at the originator of love "Jesus". He didn't have selfish ambition for his coming, but it was because of the unconditional love he had for humanity that brought him down, and even with that those he came to rescued still mocked, despised him and finally killed him, yet he still had reasons to love in that tough moments. That is a real definition of unconditional love.
So unconditional love is that unwavering love and unreciprocated love that accepts another person fully, without expectations or conditions. It is a selfless and enduring love that embraces the person's strengths, weaknesses, flaws, and imperfections. Unconditional Love, the selfless act of loving someone with full acceptance and without expecting anything in return. I would equate this type of love with the love we have for our parents or our children or our spouse.
Love is easier said than practice, unconsciously love is all about sacrifice,
Forgiveness, empathy, patience, endurance etc. The Bible clearly stated that love is the only thing that covers multitude of sin, because it keeps no record of past errors or mistakes of the spouses.
Remember, unconditional love is a continuous choice, requiring effort and dedication to maintain. It is a transformative and powerful force that can bring profound joy, healing, and growth to both the giver and receiver. Unconditional love also provide a sense of trust and security. Loving unconditionally requires reciprocity. While it may feel great to offer love to someone without expectations, it sometimes lead to feelings of depletion, so it’s important not to neglect our needs, while love may require some sacrifice, we shouldn’t give up everything for others but we try to share and be selfish in whatever we are doing.
Finding unconditional love starts with caring about ourselves first and practicing self-acceptance, It can be challenging to accept a deep love of another if we do not give ourselves enough grace to love ourselves first. Another fact remains that if we don’t love ourselves first, we may likely accept toxic love into our life because we don’t recognize what we truly deserve. But when we know who we are and what our needs are, and develop a sense of self- worth, healthy unconditional love is more likely to find us.
Once we understand this, we'll be able to discern between healthy and unhealthy love and accept unconditional love when it arrives rather than searching for it, it starts by loving ourselves first then others before it can be extended to others to benefit from it.
