The Love of GOD.

   It makes me Laugh when I think about all the little things going on around me, and realize that to pun a phrase "God is Love". What gets me is the length we as humans will go to not see that God truly loves us or the ways that His love shows its self.
   
   I am in a turning point in my life where reality meets the real and what I assumed was going to be easy is not. The more I Live in the Word of God the Father, Jesus the Son and The Holy Ghost, the more I read and study the Bible and Other related books and articles. The more I realize how many things I have left undone and as a consequence I live in constant thoughtfulness of things I would like to do over or things left broken far too long.
   
   Now when I look in the mirror in the mornings and say I love you, it is at times hard to really mean; or perhaps to really believe. So of course love is used in truth and each day I keep loving myself and those around me as I satellite around in Gods Kingdom, listening to God the Holy Spirit in all that I can. Knowing that He love me when I have been good or not so, the way that I look or feel about my self is nothing compared to what God feel about me.
   
   
   As I live in the Real God shows me the fruit of my fellowships that are blossoming all around me. Just the other day I was kind of off my normal self and feeling down, a few of my co-workers questioned me on it, “because I have had a smile on my face for a while now". It felt like I had a little love at work like the big love I get at home. What was really cool about this is just a few weeks ago my employer’s location was getting really dark in mood, and folks just hated it there. But now today it’s much better because of the works of God.
   
   
   When I hear of others in the family and faith telling of good things and wonders. The signs all point to one thing, God. When family asks open honest questions of each other with out fear of retribution or condemnation, to me its God. But most importantly when we see healing and hear of wonders and believe, it’s truly God
   Of all the things going on in our lives and news. The signs I see the most that tell me God is love and near it’s listed above: i.e.
   LOVE
   FAITH
   TRUST
   HONESTY
   
   Even now one of the greatest signs, wonders and acts of faith is evident when I pray and give thanks, worship and praise. Praying for strengths and humilities, wisdom and protection. I understand the need for spiritual prayer, this way when all the earthly things get in the way with my quite time with God. You know the ones: the pride, the guilt, the anger and funny feelings and conflicts that keep running around while I’m praying. I understand the need for the baptism of the Holy Ghost, as a man I keep getting in the way; but now the spirit takes over and helps sooths and intercedes for me. This is Gods Love, He new I could not do it alone.
   
   
   Id like to add a piece of conversion that was over heard the day and add:
   
   
   Older women: "looks like you'll get a new car out of it"
   younger women: "I hope so, I have been good. Earning Gods love and all"
   
   
   Question:
   How is it possible to feel like we need to earn Gods Love?
   
   
   As I grow in the Spirit and I pray each day that I will. I some times get guilty or something and feel the need to go out and do well or be good. So God will smile at me "if that makes sense" I know that Jesus died for us to cover our sins once and for all things.
   
   
   I think that I walk shortly thru Gods long life and that he already new what I was going to do all along, it make me realize that what Jesus did for us was in fact real and it needed only be done once and that we "can feel" perfect in a imperfect world, with the understanding were not perfect.... “JUST LOVED"
   
   "Ya know:
   it’s a wonderful gift "feeling perfect" when your not,
   but being loved as if you truly are" May you all feel perfect in Gods Love!
   Amen.
   
   Peace and love

   its fun thinking I am perfect, while I try to walk on water.... ummm anyone see my soap.

   hahahaa god, 2000 year old fairy tale people believe in to deny their own mortality, the list of religions goes on and on and on...all the same crap, heres a thought if god is loving why did he make people destined to go to hell? since god knows everything im pretty sure he would know who goes to hell and who doesnt, maybe you love him because you fear him...but theres nothing to fear, religion was created to control people in the old day, haahah i guess it still works,, but either way its all man made, thats why i can sleep at night knowing theres no demon watching me  and judging me.

   Very joyous sentiments.  Probably would have made a great hub.  Here on the forums you're just gonna get your fellow believers telling you how awesome you are and the non-religious pointing out how what you have just described is a "good attitude" and that is available through many, many mechanisms that don't require belief in beings that can't be proved.
   
   But, as one human to another, I am glad you have joy in this moment of your life.
   
   
   Oh, and ROFL, Earnestshub.  That's awesome.

   Why is this in the Knowledge and Education Forum? 
   
   This is just an exhausting testimony about your "reality"-- which some people will see as delusional.  Would it be possible that you are actually a strong person in your own right?

    Hang on to your faith and love for the almighty.  From the beginning mankind has been against God.  Know that God truly does love us because in all the centuries and all the generations that go against his teachings he has not raised his hand against us as he did in the first flood.

       God loves his creation, the proof is that he hasn't killed you yet?
       
       Most of the people I know would not be considered friends if the only way I knew they were friendly was because they hadn't killed me yet!
       The biblical god is a murdering psychopath! Read the "good book" all the way through!

    AReiki Healing  Yes this would have been a good HUB....  But sharing that good feeling with everyone is a good thing.
    
      It is a good thing to feel SOooo good as to shout it from the roof tops.

       "I Love God" as I am standing on the highest hill shouting the phrase.  The air is so fresh up here.
