Never thought...

Being a private person and one that is really bad at keeping diaries, I never thought I'll blog. I just didn't fancy it. But it seems different things make people do what they do as I now have a reason to blog. This sends an important message across to me that I should not criticize people if I do not understand reasons for their action. Of course, this does not mean that every action has a good reason.

Now, back to my own reason...I just want to inspire and be inspired, period!

Since, I am new at this, forgive me if I bore you for the first few right-ups and if I am not frequent. I'll catch up! I salute bloggers who have gone ahead :)

I read a book recently. Though I have read it before, it struck a chord in me when I did again. It's about unconditional love. I searched within me to see if I understood what that means. I bet I don't and I'm sure many of us probably don't even fully understand what love is not to talk of it being 'unconditional'. It's hard but that is what is expected of us.

Here is my summary of the book titled Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers:

In the 1800s, it was time for a young man called Michael Hosea to get married. However, God led him to Angel, a woman who was sold into prostitution at the age of 8. He married her though almost against his will but trusted that there must be a reason for it. Though Angel kept running back and hurting Michael, he didn't give up on her. He loved her unconditionally. Eventually, Angel came to know God's undying and forgiving love through Michael and her own experiences when she ran away the third time.

Angel's story succinctly illustrates unconditional love- God's love for mankind. He loves us despite all we have done and been through and longs for us to come to Him. Can we extend this to fellow human beings? Yes we can but only by first receiving God's.
