"This is the great message of the Christian faith:

that God loves us and that nothing can separate us from this love.

You don't need to earn it.

There is nothing you can do to stop it.

There is nothing you need to do to receive it, save accept it as the free gift it is.

And even if you don't accept it, or understand it, or hear about it,

or if you reject it,

it is still there waiting for you and you are loved

just the same."
