Does God love other people more?

I know we all believe that God loves us. But, the secret fact of Scripture is that God seems to love some of us more. Think about it: Abraham, Jacob, Moses, David, Mary, John. The Bible calls John, “the disciple Jesus loved” (John 20:2).

Who Would You Love More?

I heard a traveling preacher once pose this question: “Would you rather have ten women who loved you when they felt like it, or one woman who loved you with her whole heart?” While no self-respecting Christian male would dare to publicly answer this question wrong, it does highlight the desire of God. While He may still love the whole church who can be fickle, He showers His affection on the ones whose hearts are completely His.

God is looking for the one. “For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him” (2 Chronicles 16:9). Jesus instructs us not to throw our pearls before swine who will take our treasures and muddy them (Matthew 7:6). Will He not withhold some of His treasures and only give them to those whose delight is in Him?

He gives some things to those who want it. God loves our hunger for Him. He responds to it.

God Loves Some People More Than Others

I know we all believe that God loves us. But, the secret fact of Scripture is that God seems to love some of us more. Think about it: Abraham, Jacob, Moses, David, Mary, John. The Bible calls John, “the disciple Jesus loved” (John 20:2). Did Jesus love the others too? Of course, but there was something about John. John loved to be close to Jesus. He was the one who reclines against Jesus at the last supper. Lazarus’ sister, Mary, was the same. If you draw near to God, He will draw near to you. You can’t out-love God. This motivates my current fast. Not that I’m twisting His arm into action, but I know He responds with joy and loving-kindness to my acts of love to Him. It will not make Him love me more, but it will put me in a place where I can more readily receive all the love He wants to give.

Can you be psychologically connected to someone?

"Before you can develop an emotional connection with someone else, you need to have one with yourself. This means you are able to identify and name your emotions, needs, and desires," Grosso explains. It's hard to feel an emotional connection to someone when you don't understand your own emotions and values.

An emotional connection is a feeling of alignment and intimacy between two people that goes beyond just physical attraction, having fun together, surface-level conversations, or even intellectual similarities. Instead, it feels like you're connecting on a deeper soul level—and feel secure connecting that deeply. "Just like children, adults need to feel a secure attachment to another adult," couples therapist Josie Rosario, LMSW, MSed, explains to mbg. "That means it's important for us to know that someone will be consistently available, especially in time of physical or emotional needs." Think of it this way: This type of connection imbues the relationship with emotional texture, adding an essential feeling of security that establishes a foundation for genuine intimacy to blossom. When we feel unsafe to let down our guard, the bond between couples can be superficial at best. "As humans, the need for emotional connection is wired into our survival," adds licensed psychologist Justine Grosso, Psy.D. "It helps us feel a greater sense of belonging, which facilitates general well-being."
