He loves you. He always has, and will never stop. You do not have to earn His love, and you do not have to be perfect. Some people will give you the idea that you have no inherent value, but it is not true. God made you, and that makes you incredibly valuable. That makes your friends, too, special and valuable. Every one of them. Even your enemies.<\/p>\n
