More on Unconditional Love and Life

Everything that can be done during our short time here needs doing. Sounds like a simple application but it's not. 
I think the first effort on that list is to have an intimate relationship with God through Jesus Christ so we can learn to Love Unconditionally. This is the first and most difficult item to accomplish. Why? Because it's an exercise that is "life long", a continuing growing process with endless blessings for both the giver and the receiver, this "growing" with God and in His Unconditional Love.
If we follow the First Commandment with passion:
Matthew 22:36-40
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Following these verses automatically means that you have an intimate relationship with God through Jesus Christ so the foundation is already built to "grow" the Unconditional Love on.
Then the Second Commandment will naturally follow which is the carrying out of Unconditional Love that you received from God to others.
Practicing this will not only make us "hearers of the Word but doers of the Word", a healthy position to be in spiritually and physically. We then can "Love as Jesus Loves" thereby fulfilling all Scripture and bringing "glory to our Father in Heaven."
God can use believers like that to bring His Kingdom "on earth as it is in Heaven."
This being in place and growing daily will help doing the rest of the "need to do" list of life go smoother and more efficiently.
God bless and keep.
Love
