I don't know - I don't think Jesus loves us on our terms.

He loves His own - His sheep - it's personal, experiential, not general and surface-level.

It's the ones who truly need and desire Him who will experience comfort from the idea that Jesus loves them while most others could care less.

What is that verse? We love Him because He first loved us OR nobody can come to Me unless the father draws Him OR many are called but few are chosen.

In reality not everyone loves, seeks or desires Jesus - why is that?

Straw, you can tell everyone Jesus loves you but don't be suprised when few respond.

Just try to refrain from knocking anybody out! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bif.gif" alt="" />
