“Here is the core truth about God as your Creator and Lord:
You are who God wants you to be. God loves you as you are– not as you might be or could be. God loves you because you are who you are, for God is making you who you are.
When you know this, you have accepted the most intimate relationship with God that a busy life allows, a relationship that fills all things.”
Joseph Tetlow, SJ
This is the core of the First Principle and Foundation. Accepting that God loves us as we are and from where we currently are. Nothing more, nothing less!
