Oswald Chambers... God loved me not because I was lovable, but because it was His nature to do so.
About This Quote
The most powerful love involves nature. God is nature. Everything in nature is love. God loves everyone because it is His nature to do so.
But, He is not just love; He loves you for who you are and how He created you. So, what does this mean for you? It means that the reason He loves you must be special to Him. The love of God is not just an expression of His great power, but is based on your uniqueness and His own great truth.
That’s why God doesn’t love everyone; it’s not His nature to do so.
