The word 'unconditional' is a remarkable word. It means no conditions have been placed on whatever it is that is being deemed unconditional. Take God's love for instance. He doesn't do what we do. We look upon someone and by their appearance determine whether they are good or bad, smart or dumb, wealthy or poor, pretty or ugly. God does none of that. Just like a parent sees their child as beautiful, no matter what others may see, so God sees us. We are His beautiful, matchless creation. He places no conditions on His love for us. None whatsoever. Why do we, who are hopelessly flawed, place so many conditions on our love for another? We are shortsighted and narrow minded when it comes to others. We judge even though we were not judged by our own creator. If only we would begin to love others, all others, with no conditions placed upon that love. rlkeller
