What is unconditional love?

Discussion question for February 17, 2023.

First Corinthians 13 is considered the “love chapter” of the Bible because it contains description and outcomes of true love.  How would you describe unconditional love?  What are the primary characteristics that distinguish it from other forms of love?  When have you experienced unconditional love?  What did it feel like, and what did it make you believe to be true?  How effective are you at offering love unconditionally, and to whom?  What is one thing that stands in the way of a person being able to love like this?
