God knew we could never love Him like He loves us; but He loved us anyway.
We will never understand it, but God’s love for us is really uncomplicated. He loves us because He is God. He loves us because that’s His nature, 1 John 4:7; Eph. 2:4.
His love for us is not affected by our behavior or by His feelings or by what we deserve. His love is not affected by anything at all.
Romans 8:38-39 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Nothing, and I mean nothing, can make Him stop loving His children.
You see, nothing we did made the Lord start loving us and nothing we can do will make Him stop loving us.
Love is a choice that God, in His sovereignty, makes. It’s a choice that He is willing to stand by forever.
