God offers unconditional love and forgiveness to all, even the people we disapprove of. The only thing he asks in exchange is that we accept these gifts of grace and, by our acceptance, allow him to transform our lives. We can, of course, refuse the gift; God is an insistent lover, but he has excellent manners and doesn't force on us what we don't want to accept. He delights in our yes, but he will respect our no.
