How do you love as Jesus loved? This is a question that sticks with me every day. Remember when the big rage was wearing jewelry with WWJD? That was to remind us to think before acting..."What Would Jesus Do?"
Sometimes we get mixed up on loving unconditionally. We are afraid to show our emotions, whether anger, frustration, fear, or pain. Do you picture Jesus as being a man who walked the earth without showing his emotions? If so, you are wrong. Jesus showed his emotions. He wasn't afraid to be angry, or even to grieve? He shared his soul when he asked God to take his cup if it be his will when he prayed in Gethsemane. What about when he raised Lazarus from the grave? When he arrived at his friends' home, do you remember what he did? He wept.
Building relationships with others, and especially with God, means you must learn to trust, to ask, and to believe. Ask God to help you channel your emotions into the right action. Ask before you act.
Have a blessed day.
