'Truth is always stranger than fiction. We craft fiction to match our sense of how things ought to be, but truth cannot be crafted. Truth is, and truth has a way of astonishing us to our knees, reminding us that the universe does not exist to fulfill our expectations.
Because we are imperfect beings who are self-blinded to the truth of the world’s stunning complexity, we shave reality into paper-thin theories and ideologies that we can easily grasp, and we call them truths. But the truth of a sea, in all its immensity, cannot be embodied in one tide-washed pebble.'
Dean Koontz, A Big Little Life
Many struggle with understanding how wide, how deep, how high and how long God's love is - and sadly, many see their incompetence in understand the abstractly simple concept of agape love as God's inability to love them past their pains and hurt. The truth however, is far from that. Just because we are unable to love past a certain undoing doesn't mean God can't. Just because we cannot believe that He loves us, doesn't mean he stopped loving you. And just because you feel too unwanted and incorrigibly horrible, doesn't mean he can't see past those hurts and reach for your heart.
Just because you can't imagine Him loving you, doesn't mean that He can't.
And He does :)
