Hashem Wants You: 2

When there is a real relationship - in which case what really counts is the relationship itself - then it is love that is not dependent on something external. Both parties want the connection they share and the relationship without giving thought to those things that come along with a relationship. Since they are strongly connected, if one of them does not act towards the other in a perfect manner - in a manner appropriate for people who are engaged in a relationship - the other forgives and does not become all upset. The inner love has now brought about a change in external behavior.

Someone who conducts himself in this manner - that his main focus is on the heart-to-heart connection and not on superficial behaviors - can also connect to Hashem. He can seek a relationship and companionship even if he is not fit on the basis of his behavior alone. This is because even between people there is a concept of "Love atones for all sins," and he now seeks such a relationship with his Creator.
