It is only in the presence of God that we find the relief that comes from being ourselves - exposing all of our brokenness - and knowing that He is not disappointed. His love doesn't waver. We are His. He has adopted us. He wants us, even when we have nothing to give.

For many of us, life is complicated. Challenging. We battle illness, longing for many things: to be loved, to live meaningful lives, to enjoy just one day without symptoms, without triggering a condition, to feel capable of nurturing our loved ones the way we want to, to be defined not by a condition or a diagnosis, but by our inner selves - the person God sees when He looks at us.
