| | After all that's happened, it doesn't mean He doesn't love me anymore. He allowed it to happen, but He didn't cause all of these things. He let me make my own choices and let me face the consequences. And He tried to hold me when it hurt. After all I've done, I'm still His beloved. All I had to do was realize it. He waited patiently for me. He tried to comfort me, but I turned away -- thinking I didn't deserve it. Well, you know what? I don't deserve it. I can never "deserve" anyone's love. I can't earn it; if it's true love, it's given freely, with just the hope of love in return. But even love in return is not necessary. God showed His love by sending Christ to die while we were still sinners -- before we loved Him. It's amazing for me to know, without a doubt, no matter what happens in this life, I will always be God's beloved.
