Why is
it so hard for us to believe that God's love really is unconditional and that
we should imitate God's love not only for others, but also for ourselves?
Perhaps
we have regarded self-centered behavior too harshly. We are unwilling or unable to give ourselves
the same gentle grace that God offers us and that we believe should be offered
to others. Leap from doubt to belief and
remember that God loves you, delights in you, and yearns for your
response.
