Those last 3 words are my philosophy of life...it took me more than 55 years to develop it (I just turned 60).
Think about it:
When it comes to marriage, it's never enough.
When it comes to your kids, it's never enough.
When it comes to your job, it's never enough.
When it comes to your relationship with God, it's never enough.
That last one comes from my understanding of 1 John 3:18: let us love not in word or speech, but in truth and action. It's not a bad thing at all, it's a matter of doing your best every day. I didn't understand the concept of unconditional love until my first child was born, but now I have a better understanding of the love God has for me.
Unconditional love is an awesome thing —never expecting or requiring anything.
Of course, the ones I referred to, men and women who try and try — they’re married to self-centered takers who never reciprocate, don’t show appreciation or affection, etc. Marriages wither away and die under those conditions.
