He is More Interested in You Than In What You Do

"God is more interested in the worker than he is in the work the worker does.  He's more interested in you than in what you can accomplish.... And one expression of God's amazing grace is that he pursues our rescue even though we cannot do one thing for him.  God doesn't need you and me to increase his value and esteem.  In and of himself he is already of infinite value and worth.  The reason he seeks sinners, saves sinners, and sends sinners like Jonah (and like you and me) is that God loves sinners."
