What most of us don’t realize, however, is just how much God loves us. God is showing us and telling us how much He loves us everyday. When you see the sun rising over the mountains, feel the cool breeze kissing your face, and hear the sweet songs of birds blessing your ears, that is God saying, "I love you." When you see the adoring eyes of your dog looking up at you and feel the gentle brush of your cat against your hand, that is God saying, "I love you." When you hear music that uplifts your soul with joy and read words that make your heart and mind soar into the heavens, that is God saying, "I love you." When you hear the laughter of children playing and feel the warm hug of your own child against you, that is God saying, "I love you." When you have the loving support of your family and the wonderful kindness of your friends no matter what you are going through, that is God saying, "I love you." When you find your thoughts and feelings always leading you towards growth, learning, love, and joy, that is God saying, "I love you." When your life’s circumstances both good and bad help you to keep growing stronger, better, happier, and more loving each day, that is God saying, "I love you."    

God is always telling you and showing you just how much He loves you. Don’t be afraid then to say, "I love you too, God." Don’t be afraid to live that love in your life either. Love God with everything you have and with everything you are. Love yourself, love your neighbor, and make this whole world your neighborhood. Always remember that God is love, that life is joy, and that we are one. And always listen for the million ways that God says, "I love you."
