God doesn’t work with who we were in the past, nor does He work with how we imagine ourselves in the future. He works with who we are today — individually and unconditionally. God’s agape/unconditional love changes our hearts that we may love one another unconditionally, because He first loved us unconditionally.
“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.”
1 John 4:18
