There seems no conflict to accepting/understanding one is a 'child of god' yet it adds no meaning, just another fact.
Let's say I wake up in a field with amnesia. Caretakers tell me ...
"That earthworm loves you."
hrmmmph.
"that sparrow loves you"
hi, pretty bird.
"Sally loves you."
Walhhl, she's purdy.
"Your mother loves you"
mom? mom? is that you.
"President Bush loves you"
hail to the chief.
"America loves you."
Oh, say, can...
"All the heads of state love you"
ok, travel,travel.
"god loves you"
ok, uh, ok, I guess.
that's help in the future no doubt.
"john the butcher loves you"
hey, now yer talkin

Iow, you haven't answered the question, just repeated it, but thanks for at least trying.
