No Strings Attached

Have you ever heard the phrase "no strings attached"? We all know that when we hear this that is usually a gimmick. But there is a word that means no strings attached and it will be freely given to you, unconditional. The word unconditional means that you don't have to do anything to receive it.

Katy Perry has recently released a song called unconditionally. It talks about a love that has no conditions and will love through anything. Here is a few quotes from the song.

Oh no, did I get too close oh?

Oh, did I almost see what's really on the inside?

All your insecurities

All the dirty laundry

Never made me blink one time

Unconditional, unconditionally

I will love you unconditionally

There is no fear now

Let go and just be free

I will love you unconditionally

Come just as you are to me

Don't need apologies

Know that you are unworthy

I'll take your bad days with your good

Walk through this storm I would

I'd do it all because I love you, I love you

It is incredible to think that we serve a God that loves unconditionally. Everything has a condition or string attached to it but not with God. In the story of the prodigal son (luke 15) there was no reason, no preexisting condition to which the father could look at for a reason to love his son except that he was his son. The son left his father, took his inheritance, and ended the relationship with his dad. But when the son returned the father embraced the son in love, in unconditional, true, honest, love.

We need to remembered that we don't deserve this love but he offers it to us freely if we only come to him. You see the prodigal son could never received the father's love if he never went to him. We need to know that in the father's arms there is security and peace. He has asked us to come to him as we are.

In the bridge Katy says "So open up your heart and just let it begin". Today let us go to the father, open our hearts, and allow ourselves to live in his love. Know that there is no strings attached but you still have to decide to take the offer.
