The Nature of God

Before anything else, above all else, beyond everything else, God loves us. God loves us extravagantly, ridiculously, without limit or condition ... God does not love us "in spite of who we are" or "for whom God knows we can become." ... God loves us, the very people we are; and not only that, but, even against what we ourselves sometimes find plausible, God likes us." -Roberta Bondi
