Jeremiah 31: 3 (New International Version)
The Lord told me a long time ago, saying, "With an everlasting love I have loved you, therefore I have prolonged my mercy."

By his love he predestined us to be adopted by his children through Jesus Christ, according to the pure affection of his will, to the praise of the glory of his grace, with which he made us accepted in him.
CONCLUSION:
God created you to love him and for you to love him.
CHALLENGE:
All that God did, it was for you, the question is:
- Will you be able to respond to this love?
- Will he take possession of this love, which was manifested for his sake to the world: Jesus?
