Holy Bible, compass, and crucifix on a Europe map spread over a rustic wooden table

“When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, and one of them, a scholar of the law, tested him by asking, “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” He said to him, “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”—Matthew 22:34-40

If the Lord God, font of all love, showers down His love equally on each soul, who then are we to pick and choose who receives the benefit of our love?
