God is not interested in how well I do. He is much more interested in my genuine, authentic response to His love. At every moment, He is loving me, even if I can’t fully receive it.
This understanding has made a huge difference. I used to think faithfulness was a binary thing, fearing that God was marking my performance. But now, I know He’s like an attuned parent, a loving spouse, an intimate friend. He loves me unconditionally, no matter what I can offer at the moment.
This truth about God required a lot of unlearning. I had to surrender my misconceptions to truly encounter His unconditional love. And now, the more I recognize and receive this love, the more I can respond in genuine faithfulness, however small those steps may be.
God is not grading me; He is loving me. And that’s the foundation of everything.
