The Power of God's Unconditional Love

Trauma is a holy and sacred place in which one is brought against their will. It is a place of great loss, pain, shame, fear, anger, and confusion because it is a place of change and one will need to discover one thing in order to grow through the trauma and that is unconditional love.

Contained within unconditional love is all the wisdom, strength, courage, and comfort one will need to overcome all of the powerful emotions and thoughts that come with trauma. It was the unconditional love of God the Father towards God the Son that gave Jesus all He needed to overcome the painful wound of betrayal at the Last Supper as well as the wound of abandonment He experienced in the Garden. Yet, God the Father never betrayed or abandoned the Son but, instead, it was His faithfulness poured out to the Son through unconditional love that empowered Him to fulfill His destiny. It was this unconditional love that empowered Jesus to overcome the trial, the 39 lashes, the long journey up the Via Delarosa which lead to the cross where He was nailed by His hands and feet for nine long hours. It was this unconditional love that empowered Jesus to forgive the thief on his right and, to give His mother Mary to John His disciple and, it was this unconditional love that gave Jesus the supe
atural ability to pray for to His Father for our forgiveness because, it gave Him the wisdom to know that we did not know what we were doing. Then, it gave Jesus the power to rise up from the grave and give birth to the church.

So, if the unconditional love of God can do all of that for Jesus, just imagine what it has the power to do in our lives and help us overcome. Indeed, it is the power to grow through what we are going through so we can discover our true identity and fulfill our true purpose. It is the power to birth our impossible dream .
