There is no one ugly, deep, dark, powerful or evil enough to stop God from loving you. Nothing anyone can ever do to you can sever your connection to God. Nothing you could ever do can dam the unstoppable love of God for you. His love for you is undeniable, unrelenting and unconditional. You may ignore God, ridicule Him and reject Him but His love for you will remain constant and unchanging.

Why should we defer our joys? Fame and rumour are but toys.

The other General Welfare Clause is in the first of the authorities given to the Congress and it's not a grant, it's a restriction.
