Thank you Brandon and Jordan for the discussion of misconceptions of God's love. I related to the if scenarios, especially that I have felt how could God love me if he allowed some things to happen to me. I also have reasoned that God can't love or forgive me for things I have done that I feel guilty about. So, I bring these to the foot of the cross and ask Jesus for that clear vision of faith that will bring me to repentance and toward God's perfect love through Jesus Christ.
