There is tremendous relief in knowing that God's love to me is utterly realistic, based at every point on prior knowledge of the worst about me, so that no discovery now can disillusion Him about me, in the way I am so often disillusioned about myself, and quench His determination to bless me… God wants me as His friend, and desires to be my friend, and has given His Son to die for me in order to realize this purpose.
-- J. I. Packer in Knowing God
