Unconditional Love
Are we Reinforcing Conditional Love?
Our children need to learn the characteristics of our Heavenly Father, in order to be secure in Him. Our children need to hear God’s voice & become secure in the Heavenly Father’s love for him. If he is secure in this love, he will become free from a performance orientation that says, ”I have to behave this way or my Heavenly Father will not love me.”
Performance orientation is pervasive in the world today. Many people draw their sense of self-worth from what they do or what position they hold, In fact, many Christians suffer from this malady in their relationship with God. Although they know they are saved because of Jesus, many still feel uncomfortable with their Heavenly Father. They think they must win His love by performing for Him or jumping through “religious hoops,” Our heavenly Father wants us to be free from this. He wants us to be at rest in His presence. God wants us to know without a shadow of a doubt that He simply loves us for who we are: His creation.
My other BlogI write short articles for my church bulletin. I’d love to have your input.
Last night I was part of a Federal Review for the Social Services. We had a long meeting last night and we’ll have another today. I’m hoping it causes some good changes. I want more parental rights and families empowered. (South Dakota is not too bad concerning parental rights.) I’m going to bring up my concern about homosexual couples being able to get foster children. I know it’s a political charged issue but I’d die for this cause. I’ve responded very strong to some people on xanga concerning this. I will not apoligize for this. We need to stand up for the rights of the orphans.

I don’t know why xanga swallows up pictures. I changed it.
do you think the right way is to talk about unconditional love and then condemn the sinner?
Ah, unconditional love. It’s sometimes hard for me to grasp that God loves me so much, even when I screw up. I know he does, but sometimes it’s just hard to understand why.
Good for you for standing up for foster children. You’re doing what we’re here for, standing up for Christ. Good luck!
May we all come to the Father knowing His love is there to meet us.
Took a quick look at your other blog and it looked good to me!
Hope your meeting goes well and that you’re able to give people some things to seriously consider when placing foster children.
It was good for me to read about your life. Please consider me in the boat. I think I will forward your “other blog” link to a friend who is doing exactly what you have done. I think they would enjoy your writings.
Fight well for Christ, my friend.
God’s perfect love drives away all our fears. The power of His love is the greatest gif of all. God bless!
