I was listening to this song as I was driving to school and it really said something to me.  I am so thankful for the Lord's unconditional love for us and His example for us to follow.  I strive to become Christ-like and have charity and unconditional love for others...this is especially important for me to exercise and understand when regarding close loved ones...even when they hurt us, or cause us pain in some way...we must always have love and understanding for them as the Lord w...
