God, Reverential fear and love
“We often confuse unconditional love with unconditional approval.”
Bread For the Journey (1996)
Context: We often confuse unconditional love with unconditional approval. God loves us without conditions but does not approve of every human behavior. God doesn’t approve of betrayal, violence, hatred, suspicion, and all other expressions of evil, because they all contradict the love God wants to instill in the human heart. Evil is the absence of God’s love.

“…we all lie to ourselves; we tell our own selves more lies than we ever do other people.”
