doofus

I am a doofus.

I have been running around, crying about how I don't feel loved by God, nor do I feel like I love Him. As if, when someone else loves you, you suddenly get warm fuzzy feelings inside; and when you love someone, you always have those same warm fuzzy feelings toward them. Reality check here! this isn't the case.

We know He loves us, in that while we were yet sinners, He sent His son Jesus to die on a cross for us, and to bear our sin so that we could be imputed His righteousness. So that we could have a full part in heaven with Him, instead of being shut out in the cold, alone with ourselves in hell.

And I've been running around, lamenting my lack of faith. But, it seems, "if you have faith to move mountains, but have not love, you are nothing."

Now how does that mean, "have love"? in what manner is it using "Have?" is it like, I am loved by God so I have God's love? or is it, I love God, therefore I have love?

I have no idea. Thoughts?
