Can you feel that God loves you? How does God manifest his love for you? For me, I feel God's love when I see trees, flowers, anything that is bursting with life. I feel so blessed that God made me to enjoy these things. Seeing a natural scenery humbles me and instantly makes me say a silent thank you or "Wow God, you're so amazing" I also feel God's love whenever I eat. I feel that God is sustaining me because I am an instrument of his love. How about you?

yeah. i really feel that god loves me very much. i have been feeing his presence for a very time. i have been a nasty girl for all of these years but god is still there to guide me and he stays with my side every second of my life. now how can i say that? it is because i feel it. i have been to many not so good situations and praying is all i always do to be able to get extra strength and solutions. there was a time that i almost went away from god because i got blinded by my ambitions and i thought that i could do it on my own. but i found the book of job in the bible and realize that all the nasty things that have been happening in my life are just there to make me stronger and to test me not to pull me down. it really feel good to live in a life accepting god.. :)

Wow! God has really revealed himself to you. It's amazing how God pulls us back when we've strayed.

HI knicnax Yes I am sure god loves me because he helps me whenever I am in trouble and he is the one who is protecting me and my family. God shows his love on every one and always protects his children.

knicnax, The very fact that I have been alive till today is indeed a great testimony that God still loves me, together with everyone who is alive. I believe that I am imperfect and have my own transgressions with God, and I could easily have lost my life on so many numerous occasions. Yet, the fact that I am living and living well is already making me feel that I am living on borrowed time of His divine grace and forgiveness.

I know that God loves me. All that I have to do is talk to him whenever I need him. I know that he hears me.

yes,I feel God loves me.I am a single parent and by natural laws should not be able to live the life that I lead-not that I'm wealthy, don't get me wrong -but God enables me to work part-time,spend a lot of time with my children and do what I love the most -which is to write. I see God's love all around me but lots of people don't realise it -we have to demonstrate God's love to others

"Natural Laws"? Do you mean "man made laws" based on what "they" believe we should live like? I always believed God's love is unconditional, whereas, some of these man made laws seem to put conditions on God's Love. I truly believe God will not shun you in some situations where laws created by man will indeed shun you. The Laws of Nature can't be changed by man. I like your response!!!

what I mean by natural laws tomcat is that most single parents I know struggle so much and have to slave for hours every week to make ends meet -but because I believe in God and have faith I am more relaxed about money and have always believed in working part-time so I can be at home a lot for my kids. I think those I know who aren't Christians put money up too high on thier list.Most people look at me and think "how can she do that?" but they don't understand God's provision

Wow! Thanks for this post Goldie. This really inspired me. I agree that a lot do put money first, when Instead God she be put first. I believe in this because my family's not rich too. My parent's weren't born rich at all. My dad even have to work during college and my mum barely ate during college. They met in a choir. and have helped each other countless of times until they got married. They had us children. We weren't wealthy but we had enough to live by. We always put God in the center of our lives and he has blessed us greatly. We are now enjoying luxuries that we couldn't have afforded without his graces, such as a computer and our won home.

well no offense, but i guess God kinda play with us. I have a great life sure and thank that i have it. But in the other hand, all the problems surround me makes me wonder, why God needs to test all of us. Why did He create human, if in the end He questioning about our faith and tested it. He gives us life but in put more miserable in it. Some said all of the bad things are evil work, but if God's power is above all, why don't He vanished all the bad things and leave the Good things. I see both loves and hates in God's work :)

God tests us because he wants to see that we love him. Similar to us wanting someone we love to tell us that they love us, or for them to do something for us. We know but we want proof. Also tests are not always an opportunity for us to show him that we love him. Most times, tests are there to strengthen us. For example we pray for strength, what he'll give us is an opportunity to be strong.

My girlfriend said it best, while some people hide behind God, others keep God in their hearts. God is love and yes, if it wasn't for God's love filling my heart I wouldn't have the strength, Faith and hope required to meet life's challenges. Although I do not attend any church services, I am not one of the hypocrites who think all they need to do is attend church to justify their actions throughout life especially, when it comes to sharing the love God bestows upon us. "All men are created equal". Its God's love that lets us treat each other in that manner.

I agree. I do attend the church service's regularly, but I also believe not engaging in all the sacraments in order to be acknowledged by God as a follower. Believing in God and being an instrument of his love is one of the core missions of us here, and if we are able to do that, I think God will approve

Hello Knicnax, I still have family, my health, our home, my pc, brothers and Sisters in Law, not to mention my relatives in states who still gives money even though they have not much in the states. and then he blesses me with a male cat "ponchi" and female dog "jolen" then i got to know mylot where i earned for skype, then i get to sell ice with the advice of my brother. SO, what else is there to prove God's LOve? a lot of my family has been an instrument of gods love to me most specially at the times when i was going whacko for revenge for being self pity and all the whining. Like what i said before, i believe we have to be more content on what we have to realize god's love. others who are poorer are still happy and contented. so, why shouldn't I? right. Godbless you.

You're right! Everything we're experiencing here on earth is because of God. Even for the small things like having and being able to use a computer,is surely a blessing from God.

Yes i really feel that God loves me and all the people. And his Love is shown in each and every thing of this world. Isn't the beautiful sunshine which gives us life is an indication of God's love for us? Isn't the pouring rain quenching the thirst of all living beings, an indication of God's love for us? Aren't the beautiful flowers which gives us happiness, an indication of God's love for us? Aren't the green trees which contributes so much to our lives, an indication of God's love for us? Isn't the cool breeze that comforts us ,an indication of God's love for us? Indeed these all are the Indications that God loves us all and we should always be thankful to him!! take care -Miraz :)

sometimes i asked him why should i experience a lot of terrible things? i'm a kind of person doesn't get anything i want so easily until i came to the point that maybe its gods way of telling me he dosen't love me anymore because iv'e done lots of bad things. so i talk to my mom and she told me read bible and you'll found out your answer, and i realize he does love me he himself when he was step foot on this earth got treated really bad hes doesn't hurt any one all he do is to love everyone yet hes been nailed in the cross and die for our sin, that tremendous sacrifice makes me realize the loved he has for all of us.

Nice! God as your best friend! That's the closest relationship anyone can ever have with anybody. Like you, I tell God problems that I can't tell anybody else and he resolves it or sometimes let's me try something even if it's bad for me, just so I would learn my lesson.

I am so thankful that someone brought up this kind of discussion. For me, I always feel that God really loves me. He never left me. I've been through a lot of trials but still God remained faithful . I always feel His comfort. My Father passed away a month ago. That was the most painful experience I ever had. I almost questioned God for letting it happen. Until I realized that it His will and that He has plans for me and for the rest of our family. Now, we can feel His love despite of what happened. We learned to hold on to our Faith in God, because He loves us. He loves you and me.He loves His children=)God bless...

Thanks jhoanne :) I love posting about God. It enlightens me and I feel happy reading responses of people like you. It makes me love God even more. I also get the chance to atleast let others who don't believe God to see how wonderful he is and how unconditional his love is :)

God give us a love that is unconditional.and being a Christian, i already felt His love from the moment He had forgiven my all my sins despite of me, messing up with my life. God gave His son for us to get saved and it's already a proof that God loves us. I'm now involved in a Dance Ministry, and i feel His love every time i'm dancing for Him, giving me strength to use my talents and abilities to serve on Him. I can also feel His love whenever i'm reading His words and worshiping Him.

Hi knicnax, These are certainly things to be thankful for and it's something that should make us all feel good if everyone thought about it as you do. To me God is all that is and when we care about all life around us that is love or God in action. God, in my opinion is not an outside power but is within us. We know God when we express unconditional love. Blessings.

I have a very strong love for god and even though I don't go to church I'm thinking I will soon. I feel his love only when I'm with family or when the most beautiful natural occurences are happening. I will admit I do think about sometimes if things are wrong but my love and faith is to god fully.
