God instilled in me the love I have for my children. He also commanded me to provide for their needs and teach them in the ways of the Lord. So I try to do that. He did not instill in me the same responsibility for all the children of the world. Neither does God have responsibility to save all people in the world. He only does to His children, the elect.
If all people are God's children, then you would have God standing at the street corner, watching billions of His beloved children walk right passed Him, fail to look both ways, and step right out in front of a bus. That isn't love to me. God would never pull His children back to the curb. No, no, no. God respects the idiocy of His children way too much for that. Well, I have no such respect for the idiocy of my children. I HAVE pulled them back. It sounds like under your system, God only really loves the smart ones.
Because they are not your children. Your children are those that you fathered, i.e. the ones who who are your human creation.
God created all the people in the world; every one of us was given a soul by God.
God is not partial.

Everyone is appointed to die, FK. So, according to your formula those who live a long life are God's children and those who die young are not?
We are all idiots when it comes to God. Maybe that's why He gave us the Church, which you reject, I suppose, because you are too smart. :)
So, in addition to loving your children you had to be to provide for them? It would be too presumptuous of me to that love would make one care for his children!
