He loves us more than our parents love us, more than we ever or ever will love our children. And He has called us back to Him. Of course people are not perfect and we all make mistakes, but those errors in judgment do not erase our good deeds. We're back to square one. The act of lighting candles, the bringing in of the Sabbath, is eternal.
Nothing can take it away.
It is the same with every positive effort we make in life. Of course we all make bad decisions sometimes, and some acts we deeply regret. Ideally, we should take care of our mistakes here in this life. If we have wronged someone, we should make peace. If we are letting bad habits or character hold us back, we should work on breaking free and return to being the person we know we can be.
