In The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis, a senior devil writes to his protege about how God thinks about human beings:
Remember always that He really likes the little vermin, and sets an absurd value on the distinctness of every one of them.
Every. One. Of. Them.
This makes a great deal of sense, since he created everything:
Thus says the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and the one who formed him: “Ask me of things to come; will you command me concerning my children and the work of my hands? I made the earth and created man on it; it was my hands that stretched out the heavens, and I commanded all their host.” Isaiah 45:11-12
