My name is Laura. I totally agree with what was said in this published forum with the exception of the fact that I don’t feel that God loves us all in a generic way. As a matter of fact, I believe that he goes out of his way to show us he loves us. Have you ever felt that feeling in your heart – you know, that feeling when something seems so right, that it all seems to fall into place? I believe that is Gods hand giving to us. I think that we tend to feel “generically loved” because we need to celebrate it more.

My family recently lost a relative. While love isn’t always the direct answer to the problems that people experience when grieving, I can see the return of love in their faces – but you have to be looking for it. Celebrate it! Even when you feel people are pushing you away, they’re probably just distracted. Sometime’s you almost feel like you’re forcing yourself on other people. It can give you a feeling of anxiety that is not pleasant. If you push past that, and continue to embrace the love…and shower them what they are comfortable with – what they are comfortable with will grow. When people grow more comfortable with love, they grow closer to God because the bible says to cling to love, hope, faith, and joy. What better way to do that then showing each other we love each other?! Have a great evening, and God bless you all!
