I might be wrong about my knowing anything I say may well be wrong. Which means I might well know I'm right.

Yep, I'm going to suggest that you expand on your idea of love. Loving us before creating us, creating us because he loves us, is classic God behavior, similar to his lack of free will like the kind we have that I was preaching about earlier.
God having (or not) a free will is open to question. Could Jesus have sinned (even though he didn't)? If he couldn't have had then his being tempted in the wilderness (etc) is problematic. If he could have (but didn't) and did .. then you've got God himself sinning. Which would be suicidal for God (it would appear).
Given that we are supposedly made in his image and likeness we might expect ourselves to do the kinds of things he does.
Hands up, those in humanity who've hesitated bringing a child into the world at a particular time - due to the problems apparent at the particular time? It is the love of the child (yet to be born) which causes the hesitation. It is possible to love in advance (so to speak). To take action now because of what you expect shall occur.
And so, loving us before he created us.
