Nobody is worthy to be loved. The fact that God loves man shows us that in the divine order of ideal things it is written that eternal love is to be given to what is eternally unworthy. Or if that phrase seems to be a bitter one to bear, let us say that everybody is worthy of love, except him who thinks he is. Oscar Wilde
About This Quote

The true reason that God loves us, is because we are unworthy of His love. He loves us out of pity, because mankind is deserving of nothing but punishment. God does not love us because our talents are extraordinary or our appearance attractive. No, He loves us because we are damaged, broken things who need His help to return to the state of perfection.

This is what perpetuates the cycle of hatred and violence in our world today. We are all beautiful in His eyes, only because He has decided that we are not worthy of being loved for who we are.
