God's Love

Our Lord loves us so much. He created us uniquely and in His own image, and cherishes us as his adopted children. If He didn't, then why would He go through the trouble of making us, or continue to allow us to exist? His love is so great, and He has thought of everything we need. He reaches out His hand, gives us his only son, pours out all of His abundant mercies, and grants all we ask of Him. He calls us by name, and He waits so patiently for us to respond.
"God calls man first. Man may forget his Creator or hide far from his face; he may run after idols or accuse the deity of having abandoned him; yet the living and true God tirelessly calls each person to that mysterious encounter known as prayer. In prayer... God's initiative of love always comes first; our own first step is always a response." CCC 2567
