God's attraction love

It’s not difficult to believe that God loves us with
a pity love. We are wretched and miserable.
Could it be , that God would also love us with an
attraction love? If that is true, it changes everything
in our attitude towards him.
The Psalmist seems to be inclined to think this way
when he marvels about the creation of man.
“Who is man, that you are mindful of him?” Psalm 8:4
In other words, “what makes man so attractive to you,
that you continue loving him disregard of the endless
times that he has disappointed you.”
Are we after all God’s best creation?
We have all the reason to believe so.
Why would he otherwise continue teaching and hearing and
caring for the fallen man? Doesn’t he see that we are
hopeless?
Hopeless as we might appear,
we were still made for God’s glory and it looks like he
doesn’t appreciate it more in anything else but in us.
He looks at man and He sees himself in him.
He looks beyond our faults and sees our indisputable value.
He receives a strike from us and he turns his other cheek.
His compassion love kept him on the cross.
His attraction love will bring him back.
