I have found that love isn’t always returned. If I truly love someone, I love not expecting anything in return. I am practicing.
God loved me before I even knew Him. He kept loving me even though I showed Him no reason to. I was gulfed in sin and rebellion. It was His great mercy and love that drew me. I want to love as Christ.
But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were sinners, Christ died for us.
(Romans 5:8 NIV)
