Unconditional Love

An excerpt from Kristin Armstrong's book that is cool...

"We are not withholding our affection from you... As a fair exchange... open wide your hearts also. 2 Cor 6:12-13

When we are hurt it is a common reaction to be withholding. Parenting experts say the worst thing a parent can do is regress to a childlike state and punitively withhold affection in response to a child's behavior.

A child's heart grows properly when tended to with unconditional love. Affection does not depend on behavior, mood, or circumstance. Being pleasing does not equate to being lovable!

Open wide your heart--I would love to walk in
