why do you like or love someone?

i've thought about this question a good number of times. if someone were to ask this question, the answer to why you love someone should sound really special right? traits that no one else has that makes this person really different. but the answer i always answer sound so generic, so nondescript and unworthy of the person. i know they're special and i know i like them, but why? but maybe that's just it. maybe we aren't supposed to put a why behind it, to try to explain it. perhaps there's no real rhyme or reason to it. maybe it's unexplainable.

God made us, and loves us. God made us because he loves us, and that full expression of his love is made complete when we turn around and worship and glorify Him. because since we were made to love him, then loving him should give us the greatest joy and pleasure. but WHY does God love us? we're so...wretched sometimes. and we are born into this world in sin, hating Him. yet he loves, loves us. it's unexplainable.

In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

1 John 4:9-10

It's falling from the clouds
A strange and lovely sound
I hear it in the thunder and rain
It's ringing in the skies
Like cannons in the night
The music of the universe plays

You are holy great and mighty
The moon and the stars declare who You are
I'm so unworthy, but still You love me
Forever my heart will sing of how great You are

Beautiful and free
Song of Galaxies
It's reaching far beyond the milky way
Lets join in with the sound
C'mon let's sing it loud
As the music of the universe plays

All glory, honor, power is Yours amen
All glory, honor, power is Yours amen
All glory, honor, power is Yours forever amen
