Unconditional Love

Mar 13, 2010 19:15

I can't help it. I love Monique! We fat people have to stick together, ya know?

Still, during her post-Oscar press conference, she broached the subject of unconditional love, telling everyone in the room and everyone watching E! at home, that we need to love everyone, no matter their sins, no matter how unlovable.

I was uncomfortable with her ( Read more... )

Like you said, it IS somewhere in the uncomfortable middle ( ... )

This is probably the hardest issue for me. There is never any comfort in trying to do it right.

"I just know that we can't use "unconditional love" as a tool. We can't use anything as a tool. A tool to better ourselves....a tool to get what we want...a tool to bring justice."

I agree completely! Well said!

I want you to know that I read this and can't help but agree. So, "Hi, Coyla." and "good post." or, at least, good concept of what it is quite possibly one of the most confusing topics.

Streaming off of C...we try and run it/control it, when we should know that WE are the tools and can hardly manage anything on our own, without God to move us and tell us what it is that needs to be done and how to do it...so to make things much less confusing aren't we supposed to strive to get closer to God? aren't we meant, as Christians, to learn his voice and know when he is speakig to us so that we can be those tools?

idk...its all so beautifully ...I want to say confusing, but that isn't right...so I guess its so beautifully and annoyingly easy :)

I think maybe Mo'nique's idea of what unconditional love is, is wrong, but I think there is truth in the words apart from her meaning. God loves us unconditionally, but this doesn't mean he treats us all the same. And if God and Jesus are a part of each other and we are called to love like Christ then I think we are called to love in the same way. I think there is a thought that to love unconditionally is to overlook the unlovable parts and to have happy, good, cutesy feelings towards everyone. To love unconditionally doesn't mean to accept those things that are not of love. But acting in love I think looks something like what Chrissy wrote ( ... )

I think that's what I meant precisely. Gosh your so dumb ( ... )
