when_o god_n come_v to_o love_v he_o do_v not_o find_v the_o object_n to_o be_v lovely_a before_o he_o love_v but_o his_o love_n make_v the_o object_n to_o be_v lovely_a therefore_o god_n can_v love_v

this_o be_v enough_o to_o help_v you_o against_o any_o conclude_a thought_n against_o god_n love_n for_o god_n do_v love_v his_o people_n when_o they_o be_v as_o unworthy_a as_o you_o be_v and_o
