Other religions are stories of man's search for God. The Bible is the story of God's search for man.
Peter Kreeft
Image
To God each one of us is His favorite. God's love comes to all, but it comes to all as each, not to all as some anonymous aggregate.

For the wise men of old, the cardinal problem of human life was how to conform the soul to objective reality, and the solution was wisdom, self-discipline, and virtue. For the modern, the cardinal problem is how to conform reality to the wishes of man, and the solution is a technique.
