Jesus spoke a parable to some people who prided themselves on being virtuous and despised everyone else..." (Luke 18)
It is so important for us to really try to understand the heart of God. God does not condemn, does not judge, does not criticize. Some of those images exist in scripture, but they are images that speak more about the limitations of our expression than about the heart of God. From some of those readings and from some of our teachers we have come to think that God only loves those who are strong and good and not those who make poor choices. The truth is that God is only love and, 'God makes the rain to fall on the wicked as well as on the righteous'.
Henri Nouwen
