"My thoughts" by Erlend Hovdhaugen

How can I find?

How can I find unconditional love?

How will I know that the love that I find is everlasting?

Well, these questions have been running around in my mind for many many years.

I grew up with my mom, since my father moved out when I was only three years old. This made a hole in my life, as I grew up, yeah?

Well. In many situations, that would be the right answer, but not in all of mine. My mom, was not a Christian at the time, didn't live like a Christian at the time, that's what I ment. She prayed with me every night, and I learned a prayer to Jesus that when I think about it today I guess I would have to call it a crafted prayer.

I remember in early age, praying this prayer, weeping. I was praying to my God that He would touch the whole Earth, and all the people in it. And for His Love to manifest Itself on Earth.

A few years ago the Holy Spirit reminded me of this prayer, and I had to ask myself "Why did I stop praying that prayer?"

And all of a sudden, I was back to my First Love. Jesus. His Love and Compassion for ALL people. How could I forget? The reason I am writing this, well.. It must be to remind you of His Great Love. His Glory is, His Love for us.

I had to start all over again in my thinking about God.

Not that I was thinking that He was any different than Loving towards us..

It's just that my knowledge about His Love is not enough, me knowing that He is Good, and will never change His Heart towards me, it is not enough for me. It has to go hand in hand with experience.

Experience of His Loving Kindness. That He Loves me no matter what. The fact that Hell was not created for me, it is a consequense, but it's not my home. My Home is with my Lord Jesus. To live in the Kingdom of God, and make that Kingdom manifest of planet Earth. My food is to do His will, I am created to die for Him, as He died for me.

The moment I realised that loosing myself, to find Life was the key to perfect Love.... Sweet Jesus.. That was the very moment I found Unconditional Love.

God is all about sacrifice, and I am created in His image.. He has already been given me all the love that He requires, He just ask me to give it back to Him.

I love the song "How He Loves"... it starts with: "He is jealous for me."

God is jealous.. He wants the love that He already been given us, from us in return. Because He Loves us. He is crazy, about me.. He knows the number of hair I have on my head. What is that all about, ay?

Well, have you ever been in love? I have experience from my love for the Lord.. But you have probably heard somebody in love, talking about the person they are in love with... They see things that nobody else see about the person. They love everything about the person.. Sometimes even the crazy parts, like how they eat, sleep, talk or laughs.. You get my point...

But hey, that's how God is towards YOU and ME. He is crazy about us...

And the moment we realise how much He loves us, we must start to think outside the box (our head). And take that thinking down to our hearts for an explosion... An explosion of His Great Love for all people..

This is how I found unconditional Love, by going to the Source Himself... And by staying there. In His Presence, that's were I belong!

May the Love and Grace of God be in you and all around you!

In Him, Erlend
