"There is tremendous relief in knowing that his love to me is utterly realistic, based at every point on prior knowledge of the worst about me, so that no discovery now can disillusion him about me, in the way I am so often disillusioned about myself, and quench his determination to bless me... There is... great incentive to worship and love God in the thought that, for some unfathomable reason, he wants me as his friend, and desires to be my friend, and has given his Son to die for me in order to realize this purpose."

I somehow missed your last post, but I just saw this one and your last one. Glad you and the ladies had fun! Nice quote!
No fair. How can I make snide remarks against a statement like this? I could say that I love you even with what all I know about you, but that wouldn't be true. Hmmm. Which part is not true? That I love you or that I know a lot about you? Well, you decide. Anyway, aren't we glad that Packer's statement is true?
