We may be unlovely yet we are not unloved.

There is such a love, a love that creates value in what is loved. There is a love that turns rag dolls into priceless treasures. There is a love that fastens itself onto ragged little creatures, for reasons that no one could ever quite figure out, and makes them precious and valued beyond calculation. This is love beyond reason. This is the love of God.
John OrtbergIf we are serious about loving God, we must begin with people, all people. And especially we must learn to love those that the world generally discards.

Love me, love my rag dolls," God says. It's a package deal.
John OrtbergTrue love is willing to warn, reprove, confront or admonish when necessary.
John OrtbergIt may be a very bad thing that I needed God to die for me, but it is a wonderful thing that God thinks I am worth dying for.
John OrtbergGod sees with utter clarity who we are. He is undeceived as to our warts and wickedness. But when God looks at us that is not all He sees. He also sees who we are intended to be, who we will one day become.
John OrtbergThe test of love is that it gives even when there is no expectation of a return.

If you want to do the work of God, pay attention to people. Notice them. Especially the people nobody else notices.
