 The divine being is eternally characterized by goodness, faithfulness, kindness, and love. He is truly deserving of all adoration. From our human perspective, we ponder how it is possible for God to extend his love to individuals who consistently fall short of his impeccable standards, lacking the ability to offer proper praise and fully appreciate his divine essence. How can God bear the presence of a transgressor, let alone one who boldly approaches him seeking undeserved blessings?

Despite our unworthiness, we humbly approach God, recognizing that we are undeserving of His favor. However, He has graciously assured us that He will attentively hear our pleas, just as a loving father listens to his child. God regards us as insignificant, like dust. So, how can He accept and pursue sinners who are in the worst state? It is because God possesses an abundance of pardon and forgiveness. His love is unwavering, and He fully accepts us. Furthermore, God has made a covenant with His people, treating them as His own, and He has demonstrated this commitment by undertaking the necessary actions for sinners to be welcomed into His presence. His intention goes beyond merely providing a solution; He desires for us, sinners, to receive something far surpassing our imagination. You see, God has not only established the highest standard of rewards but also longs to treat us according to His own standards. In fact, He has proven this by making a solemn oath, even if it should cause Him harm, to ensure He fulfills His promises.

This is why we have the freedom as human beings to express our desires to God, experiencing Him meeting us at our level and treating us as equals by understanding and empathizing with our struggles. God not only understands our troubles, but also promises to act as our advocate, overlooking our weaknesses and sins, and presenting us as blameless and fully accepted before the world. He provides for all our needs, heals our illnesses, supports us in our toughest moments, and offers boundless mercy for our sins. We are encouraged to approach God with transparency and honesty, knowing that we will be accepted and forgiven as if we had never sinned. This is the level of care and acceptance we can expect in our relationship with God.
