But God showed how much he loved us by having Christ die for us, even though we were sinful. Romans 5:8

_it is our nature as human to portray a lovable version of ourselves. we often pretend we're like this and we're that for us to belong and to be accepted. its natural maybe because we as human do looks for something nice in every person that we meet. it is no wonder most of us are so nice and are almost perfectly good in rare situations. we considers traits and behavior before we let others in to our lives as acquaintance, friends, or even be our lover. we depend our acceptance on what we thought they are.

_good thing God does not do the same. He is a holy God, the perfect One. yet He chose to love sinners like us. He did not just created more angels for Him to love. He chose to rescue us from our doomness though He knew He'll hurt Him through our sins. He chose to forgive us instead of judging us death. He chose to send His Son to die in place of us though He knew we don't deserve such love. yes, He loved us so much though He knew we could not love Him back.

_God is so gracious that He chose not to look at who we are before He loved us. He chose to give us a chance to prove ourselves before Him instead of judging us by who we are. yes, be rest assured, He loves you just as you are. isn't it great to be ourselves and still be accepted? isn't it good news that we do not need to wear a mask and still be loved?

_God loved you just as you are. would it then be nice if you love others as they are?
