Unconditional LOVE.

I feel like people's view these days of unconditional love is so messed up. Our society's idea of "dating" shows us that you can begin a relationship with someone and end it conveniently at anytime - this is the same when it comes to friendships. They show us that when you become dissatisfied, uninterested, or you face any problems, you can just quit and move on. In my mind, this is just not okay... If we just always quit when things get rough, then what's the point of relationships anyway? Friends say things to each other like "I'll always be there for you no matter what," but it's becoming so cliche... Do we really mean it, much less even know what that responsibility entails?? I don't think we fully understand this concept, but I intend to learn from my Savior... He teaches that love is patient, kind, completely selfless... And it NEVER GIVES UP. I think (actually I know full well) that the key to unconditional love is selflessness. As soon as we begin to step out of the mindset of "I want" and "I need" and into the mindset of "they want" and "they need," I feel like the statement "I will always be there for you" will actually become reality. I want to live this out. No matter what happens in a friendship, I want to learn to be patient and kind... Love doesn't get easily angered. Jesus loved us with an unconditional love even when things got REALLY TOUGH for Him. I'm tired of living like relationships are disposable. I'm ready to really truly always be there for my friends and love like Jesus loves me. You feel me?
