A Christian preacher one day asked a little girl, “Are you worth anything?”
“No,” she replied.
“Then why does Mother keep you?” he asked again.
“Oh, ‘cause Mama loves me,” came back her bright answer.
Why does God love us so? We do not know, except to say that love is His nature, for “God is love.” 1 John 4:8. But we do know that He does love us.
“We love Him, because He first loved us.” 1 John 4:19.
