"If you matter to God, and God is willing to be changed by you, affected by you, moved by you, scared even, wounded, by you... If God is willing to be hurt by you... God, the one who made all things, is willing to be hurt by you... but also, yes, to be loved by you, and to hold onto you no matter what... if that's true, how does that change everything?"
John 20:19-31
