Love and Like

I am currently reading the book "The Wisdom of Tenderness" written by Brennan Manning. Although I am just in the first chapter I have already read things that I have never known.
Any Christian should know that God loves each and every one of us, it is part of His nature. But another question to ask is; Does God Like Me?
We find in our own families that we can love family members, but at times we may not like them all that much.
Does God like us? This question can only be answered through a deep relationship with God.
There have been many times in my own life that I have not liked myself at all, and there is no way that I felt like God could like me not to mention love me.
I am beginning a journey to understand that God loves me just as I am, even with all my faults. He loves me unconditionally, just as I love my own children. His love for me is so much more than the love that I have for my own children.
In the coming days, weeks and months I will continue to reveal what God is teaching me along this journey.
