God's desire for us

It's dangerous to sum up grand truths in one statement, but I'm going to try. If a sentence or two could could capture God's desire for each of us, it might be stated like this: God loves you just the way you are, but He refuses to leave you that way. He wants you to be just like Jesus. God loves you just the way you are. If you think his love for you would be stronger if your faith was stronger, you are wrong. If you think his love would be deeper if your thoughts were deeper, wrong again. Don't confuse God's love with the love of people. The love of people often increases with performance and decreases with mistakes. Not so much with God's love. He loves you right where you are.
