Do you believe that the god of jesus loves you beyond worthiness and unworthiness, beyond fidelity and infidelity—that he loves you in the morning sun and in the evening rain—that he loves you when your intellect denies it, your emotions refuse it, your whole being rejects it. do you believe that god loves without condition or reservation and loves you this moment as you are and not as you should be.
