There are so many different types of love we can learn and explore from all of our relationships in life. The world has so many beautiful people out there to learn from. But we really must be open to experience the world from the heart as God would want us to be in this life. You can learn so much about yourself and others when it comes to learning about conditional love and unconditional love. How do we begin to understand the difference between these two different loves? Let's begin the journey now and see what we come up with.

Let's really look at what we are doing in today's society of how we live, judge, and criticize another human being. Where did this process begin as well as the other attachments we feel how love should be? Conditional love comes from a different place and time in our lives when we began as a new born infant until now. Our families raised us the way they were raised in religion, family upbringing, and whatever we learned from them as how they believed we should know until we were responsible adults. Conditional love is when we don't walk in faith and belief as God would truly wants us to feel and think in our lives today. How can we allow the mental, emotional, and spiritual side be felt through control and manipulation, rules, or how we should live as our parents filled us with their way of thinking and feeling towards another human being. We all have many problems today on how we choose to live, accept, love, trust, and believe how life should be. What about how we deal with our problems through our career path, family, friends, lovers, religion, culture, and even our own addiction issues which do more harm than good.

My life has changed so much since I actually learned the difference between conditional love and unconditional love itself. The changes I have made inside myself through my own spiritual journey have been so rewarding by having a true relationship with God. I have grown through my journey learning to understand God and how he really feels for his children of the world. The vicious cycle of putting demands on any type of relationship isn't what God is truly about. God just loves us all for who we are, through our own mistakes, faults, judgments, criticism, addictions, co dependence and dysfunctional ways of living and believing. He loves us all no matter what circumstances we are living in our lives. I have grown in my relationship with God that he is all about love and forgiveness. How can you put a label on love and what people really think, say, or feel about who you really are as a person and others as well, asking for nothing in return, and just learning what we are about and what we really want and desire in life. God loves us all unconditionally, no matter what happens in our daily lives. He is there for you no matter what! He wants us to know that he feels us through our hearts, hears what we say and do, and watches over us every minute that we live our lives. Love and forgiveness is the most powerful gift of all when it comes to what God is truly about! We all must learn to give and receive in the process and never ask for anything in return. My life has changed tremendously since God has opened my heart to what unconditional love truly means to me in this lifetime. Let's all begin this spiritual journey together through God and learn the right way to love and appreciate all that is so deeply precious today in our lives! Why not start your own spiritual journey today and learn the difference between conditional love and unconditional love?
