yep. I'm new here. My name is Sarah. I'm 23. I'm pretty much just here cuz I've been a Christian a long time but I just can't feel that God really loves ME. Hehe. How's that for a loaded intro. I'll save the rest for a post on a message boards somewhere. Anyway, God bless

Welcome, Sarah. You'll find this to be a great site and the people to be truly loving.
I can't help but ask you something vis-a-vis your comment that you do not feel God's love: Where are you looking for it?
When I first came to Christ, I expected God's love to be expressed only in manifestations of His power through supernatural magic acts. I tended to see the things of Nature around me as ho-hum, mundane, maybe even boring.
But, as I listened to good preaching and studied God's Word, I realized that His creating the world and turning it over to mankind was an act of love. Now I can look all around me and be awestruck by His love as I look at the glorious colors of autumn on the trees in my neighborhood, when I see an airplane streaking across the sky , or when I hear squirrels chattering in the maple tree in my back yard.
I realize now that all the works of Nature that I took for granted for so long, are a freely given gift from our Creator, freely given.
What an awesome God He is!
