What is it about unconditional love that appeals to the heart of every human being? Is it that love given unconditonally regardless of action, reason or motivating factors is so unattainable in most human relationships? Is it that to be given love for no purpose other than just love is so unusual when compared to the impurity of our own hearts and motives?

Or the emotions of almost every man, woman and child have a crying out need to be filled. Or perhaps to receive unconditional love is the deepest desire of every human heart?

However we reflect on it, we acknowledge that to receive love unconditionally is very rare for the vast majority of people in the world that we live in today. Some will not even be aware they need it. And yet most will consciously or unconsciously yearn for it.

And acceptance? Most of us desire to be accepted just as we are, “warts and all”. And yet, in the world that we live in, we are placed, categorized and valued by who we are, what we have done and what we look like. Acceptance is conditional – for the most part – on whether we ‘fit the bill’ or not. And yet ‘the bill’ is based on other peoples’ perceptions of what is a good, correct, fitting, acceptable, etc. level to have arrived at.

Most times we can never achieve or attain this, but we can spend a lifetime, if we are not careful, struggling, performing, striving, chasing – but never quite getting there – our goal or endless quest to be accepted or approved. To meet the pre-conditions which other peoples’ worldviews or expectations have laid out for us.

It’s not even a winnable challenge. Just an ordeal of chasing our tail or going around and around the merry-go-round in endless pursuit of the unattainable. A never-ending game where the goalposts are always being moved. Just when we think we may be able to finally score that winning goal, an unseen force moves the goalposts – again.

So, what happens? Is there even a solution? As recognised earlier, there is a fundamental element of the human condition that cries out to be accepted and loved. But more than that. To be accepted and loved WITHOUT PRE-CONDITIONS.

Just to be given this. Our souls cry out for it. Pure, unadulterated, freely given unconditional love and acceptance – to satisfy fully the deepest needs, longings and yearnings of our human heart.

Where can we get this? Is there an answer to the deepest need of the human heart? Can another meet our heart’s deep cry? Can it happen? Or do we give up and acknowledge that this is unattainable – and cease our searchings?

Claims have been made that it is only in the person of Jesus Christ – who said he was both man and God – that the unconditional love and acceptance we all yearn for, can really be found. Counter arguments would deny this vociferiously – declaring that was rubbish, lies, lunacy, deception, counterfeit, etc…..

What cannot be ignored, however, is that this particular question has been the source of major discussion and argument over the last two thousand years. And where do WE stand? How does it affect us? Can OUR needs be met thus? Until we seek for the answer to this question, we will never get to the truth.
