Does God Love Some People More?

Fr. Mike’s answer to this question may make you think differently about God’s love. He helps to re-orient our perspective—explaining that it is not about how much God loves us, but about our capacity to receive this love. If the most valuable thing in the world is limited only by our desire for it, why not take as much of it as we can get?

I was catholic growing up, I lost my daughter, I lost faith. I was agnostic for a long time. Thank you for bringing me back to the fold.

Dear Father, that moment when you were almost tearing up to explain God's love for us, to me it came off as a moment when Jesus Himself was speaking to us through you, to convince us how much He really loves us. After all, even after being God, he couldn't POSSIBLY love us more. How can you beat infinite love...what's bigger than that!

With every video I am further convinced that we are seeing the makings of a saint. Fr mike, I know you are not teaching "Noe Catholicism" or "pop religion". You are teaching the same catechism the church has been teaching for centuries. But God has uniquely equipped you, at this point in the space time continuum, to convey these simple truths to a whole new generation of souls. I may not be young and these lessons are not new to me, but you have been such a blessing & source of strength for me, I just had to express my gratitude to you. Thank you & keep up the good work 🙏🏽🙌🏽😘

This video BLEW my MIND!!! I've struggled with the same sins for the past twenty years and I've felt like God was disappointed in me because of it... Now I know that God loves me MORE because I NEED that love and I will receive it and continue to persevere because God loves me!!! I hope you don't mind but I'm gonna share this video on Facebook. God bless!

Why do I feel Like God is blessing my friends way to far more than he does to me.

As some one in the RCIA and new at Catholicism, I really enjoy these videos! You explain things well. Thank you for doing these videos!

I was born for all intents and purposes, to live a boring uneventful life. I have no particular talent to speak of, and growing more isolated as I get older. Not only that, I am more prone to sickness the older I get, and will eventually lose those who are close to me. I have all but given up on living an ideal life, because I don't see it happening. If this is what God had mapped out for me, than I regret being born.

I started praying for GOD to help me love HIM as much as HE loves me and some days I start talking to HIM and just cry non stop not with sadness but I don't know I feel like I miss HIM like i miss my mom or my dad someone I know personally in physical form and some days I just feel nothing and when I feel nothing after talking to HIM I started telling my self OK this is how much HE loves me and I start giving up on that prayer. Thank you so much. this made me cry.

I seriously cried my eyes out from 130-147... I so needed to hear it.... I was desperate to hear it.

"The more I need God, the more he loves me". I had never thought about this but the analogy of the Shepard going out to find the lost sheep is so good. When i first found God as an adult for several weeks I felt the presence of God so strongly, I had such a connection and that brought me out of the darkest place I had been in my life. Since then there have been times when I dont feel that same level of connection and I often think 'has he forsaken or left me', in truth I just dont need him as much as I did when I was at my lowest point. He has shown me a new path that I am walking and I am back with the other sheep, safe in the paddock so to speak. Great video Fr Mike.

Pray for me im going through bad times

[carlyrichards]

I cried at "He couldn't possibly love you more". Thank you Fr. Mike for your wonderful videos. I have been challenging myself to grow in deeper love with God. You have explained to me and walked me through some of my deepest fears. God bless you.

[lauramacgregor]

Boy I am in trouble. I don’t deal with my suffering very well but I guess he loves me because after so many times I could have been dead I’m still here.
I’m that lost sheep.

[pamelaputerbaugh]

Wow. This was definitely a "Holy Spirit moment, " having this come up in my feed today. I needed these words more than I could hope to express. Thank you, Father.

[Eufracina]

Wow. Thank you. You made me cry at the end . . . a good cry. Thank you.

[timothybarrett]

This channel offers me a great deal of serenity as i unwind and relax i could listen all day long

[damoperez]

Thanks! I was needing that! Sometimes we forgot how much God love us in an unique way!!!

[bumblebee]

I ask this question from time to time, because He gives me hardships he doesn’t give others around me. Someone told me, because you’re special in His eyes..I don’t understand but I just trust Him.

Thank you Father Mike, you have made me feel a little better! I recently lost my best friend. His name was Ricky, he was a 10 year old Pug. I had to have him put down because he was suffering from illness. Its the hardest things I've ever been through. I really miss him, it's a huge void because he was such a huge part of my daily life. I'm not sure how I'm going to live without him, I'm truly heartbroken! After watching your video I felt better knowing Ricky was in good hands and meeting new friends.

Thank you once again,

Greg,

God Bless!
