Your current level of victory doesn’t change God’s view of you. Yes, there are habits you need to overcome and areas where growth is necessary. But does any of that diminish God’s love and acceptance of you? Absolutely not.

As parents, we understand this intuitively. We love our children unconditionally, regardless of their behavior or struggles. No matter what they face or how they falter, we walk with them through their darkest moments. Yet, somehow, we struggle to believe that the Creator of the universe loves us with the same, or even greater, intensity. We think God’s love is conditional, as though His acceptance depends on our performance. This belief, though common, is fundamentally flawed.
