Quote:We are made in God's image, meaning we share emotion value and even a sense of need. If you can relate to how we desire to bind with our kids you might have some sense as to why God would want us to share a bond with Him.
Unlike God, most parents understand that relationships aren't entirely one-sided, and they don't put conditions on the love they have for their children.
A good parent is understanding, forgiving, nurturing, and above all, unconditionally loving, because the person the child becomes as they grow is, in large part, the result of their upbringing.
