“The great God not only loves His saints, but He loves to love them. God’s unfailing love for us is an objective fact affirmed over and over in the Scriptures. It is true whether we believe it or not. Our doubts do not destroy God’s love, nor does our faith create it. It originates in the very nature of God, who is love, and it flows to us through our union with His beloved Son. ” – Jerry Bridges “ God loves each one of us as if there were only one of us to love. “ – Augustine
