Kathryn begins by sharing a story about teaching prisoners positive self-regard: "You are a good person created to do good things. You'll make mistakes and there are reasons to explain them." We are encouraged to seek an explanation for ourselves and understand why we make certain mistakes.
Kathryn prompts us to reflect on the Scripture passage, "The Lord takes delight in his people" (Psalm 149:4). The fact that we may be in a bad spot in life or feel stuck, doesn’t change God's positive regard for us. Kathryn covers how we can project our human thinking onto God, especially our experience of our human father. She talks about various human thoughts that we may place on God, "God only loves me when... etc."
The truth is that God loves us infinitely and has ultimate positive regard for us, in whatever circumstances we find ourselves. Christ looks at our true essence, and is always drawing us forward into our potential.
