Some have never had the experience of having a loving compassionate person in their lives. Then attempting to relate to God, it seems puzzling. But go back in the times of your life when you felt that deep love for a child. You emotions were definitely different. If you could, you would give them anything. This is how God is with his man. Even those that don’t know him yet, he so yearns for them.
John 3:16 New International Version (NIV)
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life
