Unconditionally - Katy Perry

Oh, no, did I get too close?

Oh, did I almost see

What’s really on the inside?

All your insecurities

All the dirty laundry

Never made me blink one time

Unconditional, unconditionally

I will love you unconditionally

There is no fear now

Let go and just be free

I will love you unconditionally

Come just as you are to me

Don’t need apologies

Know that you are worthy

I'll take your bad days with your good

Walk through this storm, I would

I’d do it all because I love you, I love you

Unconditional, unconditionally

I will love you unconditionally

There is no fear now

Let go and just be free

I will love you unconditionally

So open up your heart, and just let it begin

Open up your heart, and just let it begin

Open up your heart, and just let it begin

Open up your heart

Acceptance is the key to be

To be truly free

Will you do the same for me?

Unconditional, unconditionally

I will love you unconditionally

And there is no fear now

Let go and just be free

‘Cause I will love you unconditionally (oh, yeah)

I will love you

I will love you

I will love you

Unconditionally

I loved this song since the first time I ever heard it. It touched me so deeply in so many different ways. Everytime I hear, I feel something different. This may sound silly because Katy Perry is a pop artist, and most of the pop culture music are very shallow material and have no deeper meaning. But this song made me think of so many things when I first heard it. This song actually reminds me of the love of God for us. He loves us unconditionally. He loves us even with our insecurities, our shortcomings, our sins, and bad behavior. All we need to do is accept Him. To open our hearts. This is a fairly easy concept to understand in theory, but it is a lot easier said than done.Why can't we accept unconditional love? Why don't we want this ever lasting love? Why are we always trying to find a escape? I also have a hard time understanding that God loves me unconditionally and that no matter what I do, where I am, he loves me the same. Just because my walk with Christ might be a little shaken, He still loves me. I just can't stop being amazed at that. If someone starts to ignore you, and not care about how much you love them, you would eventually get tired of such treatment and just walk away if nothing would change. But God doesn't do that. We have so many flaws. But he still loves us. Wow. This is amazing. This also happens on a personal level in relationhips. At least in my case, I have a hard time understanding someone loves me just the way I am. I know nobody will ever be able to love me uncontionally the way God does, but I still have a hard time just grasping the fact that someone loves me. I always think they will find something or someone better and eventually leave. Sometimes I like to have this mindset, because it keeps me from greater suffering. At least this year, it has spared me fro msomething that I think could have turned out to be something a lot bigger and more painful. I was able to cope and put in my head that people eventually will just leave and I am on my own, and the only people I have are my parents.

Another thing about this music is that although I think nobody on Earth will ever love us the way God does, I feel like I do a lot of things out of passion and love and I end up loving "too much" (as many have told me). I think when I love, I can't love half way, I can't care half way. I just do it 100%. I love with all my heart. And, sometimes I feel like I walk this road alone. I feel scared of how much I put myself out there, I don't care how much I might be hurt, but I would rather to be hurt than be regretful of not giving my all. 

I pray that I can still find love in everything I do. Because if there is no love, there is no purpose. I pray that I can understand and accept God's love for me. I pray that I can walk safely in any path, even if felt alone, because I know I have God's love.
