Loved Uniquely

 Sr. Ruth Burrows

Too easily when we speak of such things we get the impression that others, the mere 'rank and file' are less loved, less cared for by God. This is not so and nearly blasphemy.  Every soul is loved uniquely; 'as though she or he were the only one in creation' is the conviction of those with insight. The divine thought, the divine love and tender, watchful providence embraces each one uniquely,  and all that has happened or will happen is for that one uniquely. Baffling to our limited imagination, but the truth. On this sure rock of God's love we must build our lives.
