Here is the good news: God loves us. God loves us in spite of everything we have done to push God away. God loves us when we’re throwing a tantrum, being mean to our brothers and sisters, shouting at the top of our lungs. God loves us even when God is angry at our behavior. God is good to us when we are doing things we know are wrong. God loves us so much, even in the midst of our sins, that God took on our humanity and set us free from our enslavement to putting ourselves as the center of the creation, demanding that we get everything we want, right this minute.
