Unconditional love

 Therefore, if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. (Philippians 2:1-2 NIV)

 Unconditional love is more of an action than a feeling. You don’t have to feel love to demonstrate it.
 Unconditional love is a choice. It is also a learned skill, improved through practice.
 Unconditional love does not have a one-size-fits-all application. Different people need different applications of love. If two of your friends are going through a difficult time, one might need you to sit and talk with them, while the other may need some space and your prayers.
 Unconditional love isn’t about protecting people from hurt or difficulty. It is about helping and supporting them through the challenges of life.
 Unconditional love does not mean that you agree with a person’s lifestyle or choices. Every human being is worthy of love. You love them because they are loved by God.
 Unconditional love is not something you choose because it will benefit you or because it will make you happy. Though when you do love unconditionally, happiness is a common side effect. —P. Amsterdam [1]

 There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved. —George Sand
