God loves us for what we shall be by his gift, and not by our own deserving. – Council of Orange
In loving each one of us, God doesn’t zoom out and look on the Church as a community, only loving us for being part of a bigger, more worthy whole. In loving us, God doesn’t just pan away and focus on Jesus, to avoid disappointing Himself with the sight of us. Rather, God zooms in on each of us, already seeing in us the true perfect persons in glory whom He is making each of us into.
