But at the same time the horror of my true self was revealed to me, I sensed God reacting to me and was surprised when I realized he wasn’t casting me away but rather drawing me in closer. It was like he was saying, “Yes, I know you. I know all the things you have done. I am not shocked by any of it. Come close to me, my love, just like you are. I have already forgiven your past and future. And, if you let me, I will make you new. I will make you into all that I have planned for you. You are beautiful, my love.”
