“God likes you. Well, yeah, He loves you, so there's that. But God truly delights in you. He made you, and every inch of you is adorable to Him. Okay, yes, He doesn't like everything you do, and neither do you, so whatever. But God doesn't just put up with you, He actually likes you. God is your biggest fan. He likes your style. He thinks you're funny, He likes the way you dance, and He loves just being together and talking about anything and everything.”
