In the book, “A Stranger to Self Hatred” Brennan Manning tells us how Jesus delivers us from self-hatred through a love that keeps no score of wrongs and a mercy that surpasses human understanding, In the eyes of the Master we have failed, we detect the infinite compassion of the Father and see revealed the human face of God. He then quotes John O’Grady. “The Savior knows that we have failures, even when we have committed ourselves to Him. The Savior redeems us from all personal failure by telling His followers that in spite of our sin we have value in the eyes of God the Father. A new possibility exists. We can be more than we are at any one moment; we can always bring some sense of goodness to the fore and come closer to living the way that will bring us peace. Even in the midst of personal failure the one who has been saved knows that he or she is still precious in the eyes of God, of Jesus, and of his holy community. The one who has been saved knows no sense of isolation. Jesus is the Friend who will never fail, the Faithful One who will never be lacking in fidelity, even when people are unfaithful to Him.”
