God Loves You

He loved you when you were born

He loves you even though you don’t always love him

He loves you as you really are

And he loves what you will become

He loves you like a parent loves a child

He loves you as the best friend you’ll ever know

He doesn’t always love what you think, say or do

But he loves who you are

And he loves being loved by you
