Who Loves Us?

"Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:7-8)

Repeatedly I heard people doubting whether anyone loves them. We all want to be loved. We all love our kids. However, we often love them conditionally.

No, parents would say. We love our children just the way they are!

Really? Even if they are not beautiful, handsome, or cute? Even if they do not have high accomplishment? Even if they have no or low status?

How do you spell true love?
