Conditional Love

We human beings love God conditionally. We are such conditional people. We love God … unless we perceive that He hurts us in some way. We love Him unless He lets someone die that we care about and we especially turn against Him if the person was young. We love Him unless He *lets* us get chronically ill. We love Him unless He allows us to get fired or to lose our job and asks us to work in a job we hate. We love Him until we don’t understand what He is doing in our lives. It’s a good thing that He loves us unconditionally and understands our weakness.
