16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. 19 And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. 20 For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. 21 But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.” (John 3)
We are so prone to isolate verses, focusing so much on one that we miss the bigger and better picture. Yes, God loves us! We see that in the sending of His Son. But His love us not just cupid's arrow, hitting or missing what it might. He has a big plan in mind: to deal with everyone and everything in Him. What we do with the Son matters most: do we run and hide in the darkness, or come to the light? Who or what do we love? God has shown His love in broad daylight. May we do the same.
