What if our sole reason for living was to deepen our understanding of how much we are loved by God? No less. No more. To know that the Creator of heaven and earth, Beauty and Truth, loves us, not for what we do... but for who we are. If we knew beyond any doubt how much we are loved by God, we couldn't help but love him in return. We need His grace to internalize this so let's pray for it!
