When Love's No Becomes Yes!

When we put god first in our lives, we are able to use our relationship with Him and our experience of His love for us to understand what it means to have healthy love in our other relationships. In this week's sermon, we learn about what unconditional love looks like through the lens of repentance. Unconditional love does not mean love without boundaries. When we break a boundary in a relationship, there are consequences, and in order to restore our relationships after a boundary is broken, we must repent. Repentance means to shift our thinking, to change our minds and take full responsibility for our behavior without excuses or complaining, and to turn around and talk and act differently. With commitment to repentance, we hope to experience restoration, or rebuilding trust, healing wounds, and renewing connection after genuine change. When we experience restoration with humans, the change won't be perfect, but it will be genuine after time and commitment, and we hope to feel joy in extending grace when we are wronged and we see someone showing genuine repentance towards us. However, even if we cannot experience restoration between humans when boundaries are broken, we can always be redeemed through God.
