I’ve been studying Romans 8 for a little while and I’ve found lots of good things in it (it’s really an amazing chapter).

If you’ve sinned, if you’ve looked at yourself and belittled how you look or maybe you’ve allowed pride to settle in…there’s no condemnation. He wants you to run right back to Him and tell Him everything. That’s love.
That’s a love that is almost hard to get your head around. But He truly loves us that much and more.
