Nevertheless, He loves them

The Lord is good to all, and his mercy is over all that he has made. The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food in due season. You open your hand; you satisfy the desire of every living thing. (Psalm 145:9,15–16 ESV)

God’s love extends to every person. Ever since He created human beings, He has loved them. No matter where they stand relationally with Him, He loves them. They may not believe He exists; they may believe He exists but hate Him; they may want nothing to do with Him; but nevertheless, He loves them. His love, kindness, and care are given to them by virtue of their being part of humanity.

Human beings were created in God’s image. He loves every single one of us, and His love for us translates into loving action on His part.  Every person falls short, and that’s why we need help in order to be reconciled to God.

God in His love has made a way that we can avoid the just punishment for our sins and be reconciled to Him in a loving relationship. He sent His Son as a substitute to take that punishment for each of us. He doesn’t pour out His judgment and wrath on any of us because Jesus took it all upon Himself. All that is left is for each of us to believe, and if we do, our sins are forgiven, atoned for. That’s God’s love, His gift to you and me. - Peter Amsterdam [1]

Impart unto me, O God, I pray Thee, the spirit of Thy love, that I may be more anxious to give than to receive, more eager to understand than to be understood, more thoughtful for others, more forgetful of myself. - Frederick B. Meyer
