"There is a sense in which God loves everyone in the whole world (John 3:16; 1John 2:2; Rom 5:8). This love in not conditional – it is based only on the fact that God is a God of love (1John 4:8,16). God’s love for all of mankind results in the fact that God shows His mercy by not immediately punishing people for their sins (Rom 3:23; 6:23). If God did not love everyone, we would all be in hell right now. God’s love for the world is manifested in the fact that He gives people the opportunity to repent (2Pet 3:9). However, God’s love for the world does not mean that He will ignore sin. God is also a God of justice (2Thess 1:6). Sin cannot go unpunished forever (Rom 3:25-26). The most loving act of eternity is described in Romans 5:8, “But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Anyone who ignores God’s love, who rejects Christ as Savior, who denies the Savior who bought him (2Pet 2:1) – that person will be subject to God’s wrath for eternity (Rom 1:18) not His love (Rom 6:23). God loves everyone unconditionally in that He shows mercy to everyone. God conditionally loves only those who place their faith in His Son for salvation (John 3:36). Only those who believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior will experience God’s love for eternity.”
Mark 11:24-24 24Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins."
Matt 5 43:48 43You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy; 44But I tell you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45To show that you are the children of your Father Who is in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the wicked and on the good, and makes the rain fall upon the upright and the wrongdoers [alike]. 46For if you love those who love you, what reward can you have? Do not even the tax collectors do that? 47And if you greet only your brethren, what more than others are you doing? Do not even the Gentiles (the heathen) do that? 48You, therefore, must be perfect [growing into complete maturity of godliness in mind and character, having reached the proper height of virtue and integrity, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Proverbs 25 21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. 22 In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the LORD will reward you.
We should always pray for those who are lost and pray for God to bless them. Example:it is a Blessing to know Him intimately.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

God loves everyone no matter what. And he he is awesome. And following the laws is more valuable than anything in this world. And for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. He loves everyone so much to have his son do this. And his love is deeper than anything in this world.
