"We love because He first loved us."

[Quotes Hansa, nodding as he makes circles with his thumb over the handle of the mug.]

Its true. God works in mysterious ways. Even among believers, there are different interpretations of His own thoughts and beliefs. But in the end, His work is done unconditionally. Even He will open His arms to take in sinners who want to repent their wicked ways. The way of God is love and forgiveness. There's nothing to physically gain from us.
