Hi, A little addendum from John Piper at Desiring God to consider:

[God] gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. (James 4:6–8) 

James teaches us that there is a precious experience of “more grace” and God “drawing near” to us. Surely this is a wonderful experience — more grace and a special nearness of God. But I ask: is this experience of the love of God unconditional? No. It is not. It is conditional on our humbling ourselves and our drawing near to God. God “gives [more] grace to the humble. . . . Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.”

There are precious experiences of the love of God that require that we fight pride, seek humility, and cherish the nearness of God. Those are the conditions. Of course, the conditions themselves are the work of God in us. But they are no less conditions we fulfill.

If this is true, I fear that the unqualified, biblically careless reassurances today that God’s love is all unconditional may stop people from doing the very things the Bible says they need to do in order to enjoy all the peace that they so desperately crave. In trying to give peace through “unconditionality” we may be cutting people off from the very remedy the Bible prescribes.

To be sure, let us proclaim, loud and clear, that the divine love of election, and the divine love of Christ’s death, and the divine love of our regeneration — our new birth — are all absolutely unconditional. 

And let us declare untiringly the good news that our justification is based on the worth of Christ’s obedience and sacrifice, not ours (Romans 5:19, “as by the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous”).

But let us also declare the biblical truth that the fullest and sweetest experiences of the grace of God and the nearness of God will be enjoyed by those who daily humble themselves and draw near to God.

Thanks VOG!

So true, when our life just like the weather becomes unsteady or unpredictable we can always count on God to remain the same. He is faithful, He is love and truth. He can be counted to on to see us through the hard and difficult times. Knowing He was with me has helped strengthened me so many many times.

Our God is an amazing God.He doesn’t go with weather forecast feelings.His love of unconditional love last for each one of us out of season and in season and any season.If you feel you are alone in your season right now ,and no one understands you,fret not He is with you  and He understands .He will bring you out of the desert to a land of milk and honey.Be patient.And if you wonder if this is for you,yes it is.Dont doubt.Have faith.He has not let go of your hand and never will.Amen?

God's love is not unconditional, as 1Jn 5v3 & 2Jn v6 says, 

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.”

“And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.”

We keep God's commandments, by preaching the gospel, no matter what reaction we get. Agape is conditional love.

An example can be given on evil agape, with someone doing something for their mafia boss, if you do it, you can remain in the gang, if not, you are out, or dead!

@Jubilea:amen: to that!

Do you remember from Sunday School days singing about "The wise man built his house upon the Rock? :) (Matt 7: 24-27)

Jesus is steadfast and dependable.

So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the]saints, and are of God’s household,  having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit. (Ephes 2:19-22)
