My child,
I love you fully, and there is nothing you could ever do to deserve or to repel the love I have for you.
My love for you does not reduce based on what you do or how well you serve me. I gave you everything when you had nothing to offer me. I don’t have more love to give you now that you’re mine. I gave you everything already.
I want you to do good works because you’re inherently good. That’s the new nature I put in you. You are like me, you have my DNA, and so you are good, too.
I have equipped you for good works and righteousness and I know you have the ability, potential and capacity to do them. I want you to fulfill your potentials for righteousness. But I don’t love you less if you don’t do good works.
If you stopped praying, studying the Bible, giving, loving and serving others, it wouldn’t affect the love I have for you and I wouldn’t stop loving you with the same measure that I do now.
But if you stopped doing these things, you would get carried away by the distractions of the world and it would affect your response to my love and all I have for you.
Your lifestyle and righteous living may be an indication of how much you respond to my love or trust me. It can affect how you receive my love and all that comes with it.
But it has absolutely no bearing on my own love for you. That is constant. I made up my mind to love you and I will not relent.
By the way, I want you to receive my love for you and respond to me. But that is not why I woo you and give you gifts.
I do them because I truly love you and I want the ultimate best for you. I give you things whether you reciprocate or not because I love you. I’m not manipulative.
I give because I love you, because you need it, because I want you to have the best and because I want to preserve you.
With all the love I have for you,
Your Abba
