Qualified to be Loved

In the system of the world, you work for everything. You work for man's approval, you work for man's acceptance, you work for your livelihood, you work for your freedom and you work even just to stay alive. It's a never ending cycle of works. Until that human corpse has breath it's last, it works. And this system of working for recognition and approval, leaves us with a "works mentality" that causes us to think, that, even the very basic need of being loved, has to be earned. I mean isn't that what we have heard? isn't that what our parents tell us unwittingly and what we pass on to our children? Isn't that the standard we set with our spouses? ("unless you do this or that, or act this way or that way, you are not worthy of my love and i will withhold it until i approve of your behavior ).Think about it, from the time we are kids to the time we are adults, and right through-out our adult life, we are conditioned, and even bombarded with the message that everything has to be earned and love is no exception- The more points we earn because of our good behavior  the more we are loved and if our behavior isn't good enough let's not expect to be loved. It's enough to drive any human being to despair and many a man, woman and child, tragically, have been driven to even take their own lives because of this.
And yet the truth about our worth to be loved is so different from that of the world. The truth about our worth to be loved comes directly from the Creator of this world. From the "Big Daddy" if you will, Himself. God says that our worthiness of His love is not based on anything that we have done or not done. His love for us is not based on how many brownie points we have accumulated because of our good behavior or on how much charity we have done, or on how good we have been on average, or on any other such "behavioral indices" that the world qualifies us on. His love doesn't even take into consideration if we are murderers, fornicators, drunkards, drug-addicts, prostitutes, homosexuals or even slanderers! None of that matters to The God of Love. To Him, our only qualification is that we are His creation.That the very breath we breath is His breath in us, qualifies us to be loved unconditionally and wholly. His is the kind of love that, even when we do wrong daily or even multiple times within a day, does not change a dot. It is constant, it is embracing, it is unchanging and it is everlasting- literally!
I can't help but think that if every human on this earth knew how much they were truly loved- how an imperfect soul was loved so completely by a perfect God- how different this world would be.
You see, love begets love.It has never been the other way around. The world always has everything backwards.The world says love me first and then i'll love you. But God says "I loved you first, and if you so choose, you can love me back, but even if you don't, i will still continue to love you." It is impossible to resist such love.It is impossible for any human to go on hating in the face of such love. It is impossible for any human to continue in the paths of self destruction in the face of such love.It is impossible to think one is unworthy to be love in the face of such qualifying love!

" For God So Loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son, that who so ever should believe in Him, should not perish but  have everlasting life". - John 3:16
