Divine Lovingkindness

2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 May our Lord Jesus, the Messiah Himself, and may God our Father, who loved us and by His grace gave us eternal comfort and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good action and word.

God, even our Father, has loved us.

I can imagine the Lord's love to His disciples, His mother, the apostles, martyrs and great men of God, but it says here that the Lord Jesus Christ, Himself God, should love me, is something to contemplate!

If I take it Galatians 2:20 I see - "Who loved me and gave Himself for me," it is a fact that I am the object of divine affection.
