There is nothing you can do to make God love you less. And there’s nothing you can do to make God love you more. He loved you enough to create you and set his focus on you. He loved you enough to want to be with you forever, despite your sin against him. He loved you enough to send his Son to save you from your sin.

God’s love for you is based not on what you do but on who he is. It’s not based on your performance. It’s based on HIS character. You can spend your whole life trying to make God stop loving you, but you will fail.
