Unconditional Love

"and I'm sorry to which ever man should meet my sorry state,
watch my steady lonesome gait and beware.
I would never love a man 'cause love and pain go hand in hand
and I can't do it again" - Laura Marling New Romantic.

Although I've never been in love or have ever been heartbroken these lyrics have rung true in my life for the past month now.
lately I have been so turned off by the idea of love and what our society makes it out to be.
we taint and depreciate the meaning and value of love, its become a everyday word and has almost become meaningless.

This world makes me think more and more everyday that love doesn't actually exist. That its just a made up feel good thing that we make for ourselves. Ever since we are little children we are fed fairy tales of true love and and then as we get older the image if love gets warped.
this world is turning me off of love and it needs to stop.

The only thing I can count on is Gods unconditional, He loves me no matter what, He shows me grace and its so beautiful.
Tonight i saw Shane Claiborne speak and he said some things that really hit home. One thing is that God has shown us all this grace and love and as christians we need to show others the same, even if we don't see eye to eye with them.
This is what real love is made out of, and when we grasp this and fully understand it we are ready to love others to the full extent that God created us to.
The bible says to love your wife like Jesus loves the church.
The truth boils down to at this current moment of my life is that I don't see how we as humans can love each other with that much intensity, especially when society has some wacked way of thinking.
So until I find that kind of Godly love from a man I will be slightly skeptical if its even possible.
Does this mean I have some crazy standards as a woman... absolutely not.
My standards are high and they are staying there, no worldly lie will make me think twice.

God is my first and for most love, my only true love, He will never fail me,
until He brings along that man who will love me to the extent God wants him to I will remain a proud cat lady.
