7 Ways to Love Fully Without Limits

unslpash.com

Regardless of our pasts, Jesus chooses to love us unconditionally. It’s a love that is so strong that it can be hard for us as humans to understand, because our human nature doesn’t always follow that same path. We let our pride get the best of us, we push back to forgive an enemy, or we expect that we should get love in return. Jesus doesn’t do any of this.

Instead, Jesus chooses to show love without limitations. Everyone can receive the love He has, no matter what condition they come to Him in. This type of love is incredibly rare to find. This type of love requires us to be humble, vulnerable and open to make sacrifices. However when we love this way it makes the world a little bit brighter. We are able to make more genuine connections, empower others to grow, and personally transform our hearts.

Jesus loves others fully without any limits, conditions or restrictions. Here are seven ways we can too.

Some people have a difficult time getting rid of grudges, but those grudges hold us back from loving others fully. Forgiveness is a choice and it can take time for you to want to forgive someone that has done you wrong. However Jesus chose to love everyone, despite the hurtful things they might have done in the past. It can also be incredibly hard to forgive ourselves for things we have done wrong. We hold on to guilt and pain which can hold us back from freely spreading love. Jesus, however, has already forgiven us for our wrongdoings. If we choose to accept His love, we are free from our sins. We should show love to others through forgiveness so that they can be free from their own pain and guilt. Ephesians 4:32 says "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."

Set Aside Judgment

Jesus does not judge others. He looks past physical appearances, social economic status, race, gender, and the like. He chooses to love them unconditionally regardless of where they are at in life. He meets them right where they are, and provides the perfect love that they need. We can choose to ignore our judgments too. When we meet someone, we automatically start making assumptions about them. When we do this, we put limits on our ability to love them unconditionally. We have to get over our negative conventions about others and replace them with positive thoughts. For example, instead of judging a poor beggar for being a drug addict we can choose to talk to them, provide aid when possible, and show them love and kindness.
