"God loves each of us as if there were only one of us."St. Augustine

“God is love.” 1John 4

I have had the mistaken notion that if God loves everybody it takes something away from His love for me. The reason this is wrong is because God’s love for any of us has nothing whatsoever to do with our loveliness. He does not love us because of any special qualities we possess. He loves us because He is love. And, His love is not to be confused with liking us. God’s love for us is His unconditional, unswerving, tenacious commitment to seek only our best and highest good. And, because He is the best and highest good, He is always working to help us see and seek Him before all else. God can give us nothing greater than the gift of Himself.
