This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
1 John 4:10
“And that is the wonder of all wonders that God loves the lowly. God is not ashamed of the lowliness of human beings. God marches in. He chooses people as His instruments and performs His wonders where one would least expect them. God is near the least of men; He loves the lost, the neglected, the unseemly, the excluded, the weak, and the broken.” God Is in The Manger, Dietrich Bonhoeffer
