I love cookies, but they don’t love me :>)
Actually, we CAN’T love God until he loves us by giving us his grace. No one seeks God, no one loves God, without him loving us first.
Cookies are things. They don't care one way or another. Adam was a "cookie" one second before God breathed life into him. That same life is in you and me. It's that same breath God gave him that quickens all of us. We are not dead. We are in a deep pit from which we cannot come out even if we wanted to on our own. After Chirst, God's hands is extended deep into that pit and everyone can grab it and be pulled out. That is His grace.

Of course He did; we didn't exist at one point and He always is. More importantly, God loves everyone. He even teaches us to love everyone, including our enemies, those who persecute us. But, the fact is, many whom God loves don't love Him. So, the fact that He did love us first does not mean everyone loves Him back. Love is not always returned with love.
