Christ loves us all equally and completely with undiminished intensity [1] even though He loves each of us differently. For example, Christ loves Peter and gave him the Mother Church [2], and Christ also loves John but gave him His mother. [3] It is not for us to judge, or be jealous of, the way Christ loves another one of us. [4] Be content to know that we are loved, and to the best of our abilities, love God in return. [5]
[1] That remains true until we reject God in favor of Satan.
[2] Matthew 16:18
[3] John 19:26-27
[4] John 21:20-23.
[5] This applies in a family situation as well where a parent loves each child differently. It is incumbent upon each child to return the love without weighing on a scale how much love was received relative to his/her siblings.
