CartConversations: God's Mysterious Love
Samantha:
I've been, for the longest time, struggling with this issue of how God can love me and yet love everybody at the same time. I mean, can he love everybody equally? And even so, what makes that equal love so personal?
Ruth:
The easy answer is that God is infinite and has infinite capacity to love far beyond our capacity to love and far beyond our comprehension. Such love is entirely beyond human understanding. I can understand how a Susanna Wesley (John Wesley's mother) could love her 19 children—and love them equally. But my own human comprehension doesn't go much beyond that. So even if we don't extend God's personal love for human beings beyond our own little solar system, how does God love all 6+ billion of us—and love us each personally? That's a tough question that I file under mystery.
