Neat.
Yeah, I am rambling on a bit but I definitely believe that God's love is different from circumstantial familiarity. That's definitely the love that people experience most of the time. For example, you're part of a group or community. People in the community have a bias in your favor because you belong to that community. Unfortunately though, whether they're your friend, romantic partner, or family member, they pass away or feelings change. God doesn't change. God doesn't pass away.
And ultimately, it's God who we're made to love above all else. To love a person as a friend, family, or partner is to be vulnerable. But at the end of the day, there is also no safe house on this earth. God, however, will never turn you away. We're asked to love the father through the son. To love the son through the mother (Our Lady). That's our mission.
