Does God love some more than others?

1 John 4:7-14 …” Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world “…

In this portion of Scripture, we see three things about our great GOD that many people seem to either over look or just ignore all together. First and foremost, let’s just emphasize the fact that all we know of HIM is what is revealed in the Scriptures for us, and nothing more. If we want to begin to tell others about someone we know, we can only describe to you the things that we have observed in our course of interacting with that person, but we can in no way speak for that person as though we were him. We could however read what he said on his behalf, and this would be us just repeating what this person said himself. When it comes to our great GOD this rule is strictly enforced, because when GOD speaks, it’s eternal and carries with it creative powers that HE, and HE alone can even begin to comprehend. That being said, the question is not whether GOD loves, it is -does HE love others more-. This is where many religious minds get boggled in trying to explain to themselves, and others as well, how an eternal GOD, who inhabits infinity, inter-reacts with the finite individuals on this planet. Some assume that GOD micro manages their very existence, and sees and hears every thought on every second of the day. This is what they think, probably because this is what they have been taught, but it is not found written in the Scriptures. We can safely say that they believe this because somebody in their past took it upon themselves to speak for GOD, rather than just simply reading what GOD said HIMSELF. A lot of misunderstandings come from this very problem; people assume that this is what GOD meant without
