I've been thinking about what I've been doing here in London this last year or so, and I feel like I've kinda failed at reciprocating love back to God. This year more than ever, God has made it very apparent that He loves me to death (litterally :P...), and while basking in the wonderful feeling of it, I've failed to realize that I was doing a poor job at giving it back to Him. I'm not really talking about my personal relationship with God, because that has been great. I'm more dissapointed in my actions to show love towards my brothers in Christ.
Somebody shared the other night at one of our ACF gatherings about how even sinners can show love to those they like, but we are called to love even our enemies. I have been a picker and choose of who gets the excess of God's love that He's poured on me, and I feel I've cheated those who didn't get it because I wasn't as cool with them as others. I'm sure I've let down God from my inaction towards these brothers, but praise God for revealing this to me now. It's really been on my mind today, and I can only try my best to change my ways.
I know God will not love me any less because I've failed Him, but I'm just sorry to those people that I haven't paid as much attention to, and to God for showing such disobedience.

rise above!!!!
aw... vanseto took my comment~ erm.... unconditional love... i recently heard that it wasn't something we as humans can do, then i kinda laughed and disregarded the possibility vs impossibility. I realize that whether or not someting is possible is not my concern. i just assume all commands must be whether they seem it or not. I know you can. God is God after all =]
