Every day Quote by Yalembirhan Almaw
“You know those relationships when the girlfriend/ boyfriend keeps on hurting their partner and yet their partner keeps on forgiving and taking them back each time? We never understand why. And sometimes get angry at the forgiving person cuz we know they're going to get hurt again. Have you thought of our relationship with God that way? We hurt him by sinning every day- and yet he takes us back every day. When we're lost , he goes out of his way to find us. He doesn't love us because of our works. He loves us because HE IS LOVE and simply Can Not Help It.”
