God isn’t scrolling your résumé before He lets you in the door.

You carry an internal list of qualifications: the grades, the record, the things you got right and the things you think disqualify you. Approaching anyone with that list in hand makes you defensive before the conversation has started. Here the screening is removed entirely. There is no threshold you are being measured against at the door.

Notice what you think you have to become before you are allowed to come back. Then come back without it, this week, in whatever plain form that takes. The same applies with people who love you, most of whom have never been holding the list you assume they keep.
