I love animals; it is amazing to me how God's creatures love with an unconditional love. People are so different. Is it because of our advanced intelligence that we are so guarded with our feelings? Many people do not easily share their feelings with others. We have either been hurt in the past or we just doubt that others really care about us. Now on the other hand animals love us regardless of how we treat them, they may hide or tremble but they are very forgiving. God loves us unconditionally too. We hurt him, ignore him and blaspheme him yet he still loves us. He is waiting for us to return, his arms are outstretched. He wants to hold us and protect us.
God help us to understand your love and teach us to love others as you do.

Good post. I really had never thought about it, but God does love us kind of like an animal does. Always there for us and doesn't care how we look, how smart we are, how much money we have or any of the other things that mean so much to the world. Just loves us because and no matter what...just like our pets:)
Exactly Jackie, God loves us and wants nothing in return except our love.

That is so true about animals having such an unconditional love. I've always said every child needs an animal to know that kind of love. If every adult or even child could come to know God and to feel that kind of love how much better would this world be.
Gina,
I agree, if we could just understand and grasp the love of Christ our lives would be happier and less stressful. Our pets love us no matter what, they do not fear that we won't feed them or care for them. God wants us to trust him the same way.
