There is a love which knows no boundaries. The love that has no limits comes from the eternity; always was and always will be. God’s love for us has no beginning or end. God’s love did not come from His works towards us. The sacrifice of Jesus on the cross did not birth God’s love for us. The works of God was birthed from His love towards us. God’s love for us is not because of our works, and our love for Him should not be because of His works. Our love for one another should not depend on the works of the other. To attain the love without restrictions one must see the cross and understand the gift of forgiveness purchased for us. The outpouring of the love without confinement is limitless; but the ability to pour out such a love is learned by relationship with One who has such a love.
God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). God gives to us a spirit of might ability (power) and of love (without boundaries) and of learned obedience to God (sound mind). One spirit, not three spirits of power, love, and a sound mind; but of power and of love and of a sound mind. The spirit is the belief (supernatural faith) in the grace purchased for us (belief in the One sent), and the commandment to love one another as He has loved (without limits). You hurt me in my past, what limits can that place on love. You ignore me in the present, what restriction does that place on love. You have lied about me; is your lie a boundary to love? Forgiveness (grace manifested) removes the “no trespassing signs” from out hearts. Has the one who hurt you asked for forgiveness? Waiting for them to ask is a limit you have placed on your love; give before they ask. Fear not. Love without boundaries doesn’t mean you will not be hurt again; forgiveness means loving anyway.
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust” (Matthew 5:43-45). Love as God loves. “That you may be sons” is a relationship with God. “Your Father in heaven” is a relationship with the One who loves without limits. We call one another “brother” and “sister” and those are relationships defined by who our parents are. Our Father in heaven has a love which knows no boundaries. Jesus came from heaven to the earth; there is no boundary between the earth and heaven when it comes to the love of God sending Jesus to us. There is nothing that can separate us from the love of God; even the tribulation that is coming on the earth is birthed out of God’s love without boundaries. There is nothing that can separate us from the love of God; even the things taught by the traditions of mankind will not stop God’s unconditional love.
