You Can't Earn OR Lose God's Love

"The everlasting love of God frees us from the fear of messing up and from hiding away from him when we do mess up (which is constantly). He's always that warm and loving Father who...even though you "wrecked the car"...says, 'I am going to pay for that. My arms are open wide and I will love you regardless.'"
