I remember reading Brennan Manning’s The Ragamuffin Gospel many years ago. There was something beautiful and achinglyreal about it.  

“Do you really accept the message that God is head over heels in love with you? I believe that this question is at the core of our ability to mature and grow spiritually. If in our hearts we really don’t believe that God loves us as we are, if we are still tainted by the lie that we can do something to make God love us more, we are rejecting the message of the cross.”

Thank you for Your love for me.
