My spouse has always made me feel guilty because I started placing boundaries to protect myself. He rants and raves that if I really loved him I would accept him as he is. He talks about how I just need to love him...how torn I am (was). But I have never thought of the love Heavenly Father has for us. Thank you again.Camnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3270245506969727628.post-31134091390579187182010-09-29T10:06:01.524-06:002010-09-29T10:06:01.524-06:00I agree.

I don't think God likes a lot of His children a lot of the time. But His love extends towards them endlessly, with an open invitation to repent as long as they haven't placed themselves so far out that the road back becomes impossible--for them, not for Him.

I once read with just that topic in mind (and have been doing it again) and have been astounded at how often that principle shows up.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08215431222961203620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3270245506969727628.post-20725833304021507292010-09-21T07:23:21.347-06:002010-09-21T07:23:21.347-06:00Anonymous—I removed your comment because it was ag...Anonymous—I removed your comment because it was agenda-driven by something that had nothing to do with the original post.<br /><br />There are posts on my blog which would be more appropriate for that comment.

As parents we sometimes feel guilty for not liking our children -- or at least not liking what they do. <br /><br />Elder Nelson taught that Divine Love, while universal, in not unconditional. And he cites multiple times in the scriptures where the Lord's blessings (as a sign of his love) are contingent upon our performance.<br /><br />The fact is, we are conditional beings.

We can love always and even forguve but as you put the concept so correctly, we make righteous choices to protect ourself from bad behavior by enforcing consequences. Consequences can also help use grow and make better choices in the future.Mariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15776582123068263410noreply@blogger.com
