The unconditional love

Written by Dede Abebreser Tsonyake.

“But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (NIV) Romans 5:8

A man who wants to save his seven-year old marriage from dissolving because his wife wants a divorce, went to his father who gave him a diary with a day-to-day activity which he has to follow for forty days and hopefully if he finishes the entire forty-day activities, it may help save his marriage.

Desperate as he was, agreed to go through the activities day by day. On the twentieth day, he was frustrated and wanted to give up because all the gestures and activities meant to woo his wife’s heart went unappreciated and ignored.

He then went back to his father to complain. His father then asked him to describe the attitude of his wife though he has shown her all the love that the activities entailed. In his description, he said the wife was ungrateful, unappreciative and undeserving of all the love he has shown her just to save their marriage. He added that his wife was not concerned about how he felt.

The father then said to him, this is exactly how we treat Christ even though He has shown us so much love by laying down His life for us so that we will have salvation. Even though He has shown us so much love, we continue to show so much ingratitude by sinning and rejecting Him everyday but He still loves us and waiting with open arms to accept us whenever we repent.

Though He is waiting with open arms for us to repent and come onto Him, we do not have all the time because He, the son of God does not know when the world is coming to an end (Matt 24:36-39). The time to repent is now. Today, if you hear His word, harden not your heart. Contact the This email address is being protected from spambots.
