These accomplished professionals melted in their seats with joy holding puppies that asked nothing except to be loved and in return gave love freely without any demands.
Wendy, our precious poodle, has taught us much about unconditional love in the last 10 years.
She is sad when we leave her but greets us enthusiastically with squeals, sneezes and yowls when we come home. We have explained to our worried neighbors "it's her happy sounds". Not a day goes by that she doesn't look at us with "love eyes".
Not long ago I came home from an unexpected 6 day "vacation" in the hospital. She never left my side. She cuddled up with me in bed that night with her paw draped across my chest. I woke up several times to find her big brown eyes looking at me to make sure I was really home and well. She then would sigh contentedly, lick my face and drifted off to sleep, inching closer and holding me tightly with her paw.
Jesus paid the debt of our sin on the cross- past, present and future.
Our Father sees us full of His righteousness, already perfect and holy in His sight. We please Him because of His Son.
Each day He showers us with unconditional love.
Each night He sings over us with unconditional love.
Total acceptance - no barriers - nothing but love!
Unconditional love - No condemnation! - nothing can separate us from this love!
There is now no condemnation
for those who are in Christ - Romans 8:1
Neither death nor life
neither angels nor demons
neither the present nor the future
nor any powers
neither height nor depth
nor anything else in creation
will be able to separate us
from the love of God
that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!-Romans 8:37-39
For God so loved the world
that He gave His one and only Son,
that whoever believes in Him shall not perish
but have eternal life.
For God did not send His Son into the world
to condemn the world,
but to save the world through Him.
