God is not interested in what you think you should be or feel. He is not interested in the narrative you construct for yourself, or that others construct for you. Rather, He is interested in you, the you who suffers, the you who inflicts suffering on others, the you who hides, the you who has bad days (and good ones). And He meets you where you are.

The desperate addict is closer to the heart of grace than the devout moralist.

The grace of God sets us free from a life of perfection, performing, and pretending.
