"In your lives, you must think and act like Christ Jesus." Philippians 2:5
It's dangerous to sum up grand truths in one statement, but I'm going to try. If a sentence of two could capture God's desire for each of us, it might read like this:
"God loves you just the way you are, but he refuses to leave you that way. He wants you to be just like Jesus".
God love you just the way you are. If you think his love for you would be stringer if your faith were, you are wrong. If you think his love would be deeper if your thoughts were, wrong again. Don't confuse God's love with the love of people. The love of people often increases with performance and decreases with mistakes. Not so with God's love. He loves you right where you are.
