Does God really love us?

I feel overwhelmingly loved, in a way greater than the sum total of people I know who love me, make me feel.
I choose to conclude that God loves me. :heaven:
To quote the Rich Mullins song “If I Stand”
There’s more that dances on the prairies
Than the wind
More that pulses in the ocean
Than the tide
There’s a love that is fiercer
Than the love between friends
More gentle than a mother’s
When her baby’s at her side
And there’s a loyalty that’s deeper
Than mere sentiments
And a music higher than the songs
That I can sing
The stuff of Earth competes
For the allegence
I owe only to the Giver
Of all good things

Just look at what God has done:
He created an entire universe out of nothing. He created time itself. All creatures come from His immense love.
And yet, out of all His creation, He created us, and only us, in His image.
He loves us so much that He wants our love in return. So that we can love Him He gave us the choice to follow Him or to follow our own desires. Unfortunately in the Garden of Eden we chose ourselves over our God.
God therefore picked the Jewish people to prepare a way for His coming. (He knew all this would happen beforehand, but that’s not important here.)
God has so much love for us that He sent His angel Gabriel to earth to announce to the Virgin Mary that she was to become the Mother of God. The Holy Ghost fertilized one of her ovum so that the Word of God, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity, could become both God and Man. He did not simply appear on earth in a human guise, out of His great Love He actually became one of us! He loves us so very much that, for our salvation, He even became a human being.
His love led Him to walk this earth and prepare His Church, “the Body of Christ”, and to finally suffer and die for our sins. Now that’s a lot of love!
God loves us so very much that He sent His Holy Spirit upon the disciples at Pentecost. That same Holy Spirit has been passed down to us by apostolic succession. And we receive the Holy Spirit at Baptism, and again at Confirmation. What/who is this Holy Spirit? The Third Person of the Holy Trinity! That’s right. God has so much love for us that He is willing to live inside each one of us, if only we allow Him.
We receive God almighty onto our tongues at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Once again God comes into us, this time physically, out of His sheer love for us.
When the God-Man Jesus ascended into heaven He ascended with His human body. God actually dwells in heaven with a human body. He must love us more than we can imagine.
He also loved His dear mother so much that her body was assumed into heaven along with her soul.
And God loves us so much that He is populating heaven with us. He created angels, but only humans partake in His Body and Blood. Only humans were made in His image.
Yes indeed God loves us without end. We need to learn to love Him in return.
God bless you Theresa!
With Christ’s love, Reg.

God loves all of his creation, but the evils in this world can overcome us at times and we can’t feel his love because we let the evil cloud our eyes. This is why it is important to follow Church teachings, because it can help us to keep a clear mind and feel God’s eternal love for us all.

Yes.
God loves us more than we could imagine. As humans, we simply cannot comprehend His love for us in its totality.

No. It’s all a ruse. That’s why He created us in the first place, and when we walked away from Him, he sent one of the Persons in the Trinity to suffer and die in order to repair the relationship.
Seriously, though - what else could His motives realistically have been?
