and… here’s a thought about God’s love for us from Bishop Vaughan’s Thoughts for All Times
Throughout the unnumbered past aeons and cycles He not only knew us and contemplated us in His own mind, but He loved us also. In fact, but for this love, we never could have been. It was His love, and His love only, and not the thought of any interest or advantage that He could expect to derive from our existence, that determined Him to call us from the hollow womb of nothingness into a state of actual being. Behold, ” I have loved thee with an everlasting love, therefore have I drawn thee, taking pity on thee” (Jer. xxxi. 3). (page 7)
