i read this today and just thought it is worthy of sharing. it comes from a book written by Peter Greig discussing the unanswered prayer. my mother gave it to me to read along as she gave one to my aunt who is going through some real rough times. it is kinda lengthy, put it is the promise of God to us. read on:

"God loves you, not just out of a divine duty to love people whether He likes them or not. He loves you passionately with relentless fascination because it is the great delight of His being to do so. The God of the cosmos thinks you are amazing. You! Not just some heavenly, idealized version of the person you might one day become. You - the person who does such stupid things. You - the one with a peculiar sense of humor. You - the one with bad hair, bad breathe and bad desires."

the author ends the chapter with a paraphrasing of Romans 8:38-39. just a little bit of good news for a new day. . .
