"God loves us already and has from our very beginning. The Christian life is not about believing or doing what we need to believe or do so that we can be saved.

It is about becoming conscious of and intentional about a deepening relationship with God."

When it became apparent to the cat that its two or three pounds of mass were insufficient to break Locke's neck with one mighty snap, it put its paws on his shoulders and began sharing its drool-covered nose with his lips.
