You’re My Favorite!

“I thought I was your favorite,” my daughter said. She was responding to me saying I loved them all and had no special favorite. That was some years ago, when she was much younger. I tried to explain that each of my children is my favorite. That doesn’t mean I relate to each the same. Though they share family characteristics, they are unique individuals with different personalities. I enjoy and I love their differences as well as what they have in common. I believe that’s how God loves and relates to each of us. He loves that I am different from you, and you are different from me. We are each unique. It doesn’t matter our gender, race, color or what part of the world we live in, he loves each of us. (Truth be told, I’ve always thought I was his special favorite, but I bet he tells that to everyone!)
