I never ever stopped loving her she is my kid. If I who is imperfect can love how much more does the perfect One whose very nature is love.

You bring up an excellent point. Did the prodigal's father stop loving him? No.
However, I had a preacher tell me once that our ability to love a rebellious child only demonstrates how corrupt our idea of love really is. He said a rebellious child deserves instant death in God's eyes. I was dumbfounded. He obviously failed to understand the purpose of the law... and even more sad still... failed to grasp the reality of the cross.
