God’s love for you is unconditional; it never changes. Before you were formed in the womb, He loved you. You’re the apple of His eye. His love for you has no limits, and His love for you never wanes. When you couldn’t put your porn magazines down, He still loved you. When you lay in the arms of another Saturday night date, He still loved you. When you continued to ignore Him, He chased you desperately, aching to reach you before it was too late and your heart had hardened.
