Love that comes first

It is easy to imagine that we must become easier to love before we can come close to God. The gospel tells another story: God moves toward us with love, and that love becomes the ground from which transformation grows.

A reflection

Where are you demanding perfection from yourself before allowing yourself to receive care? You can be honest about where you want to grow and still rest in the truth that you are loved now.
