About the Author

Preface

He loves me; He loves me not. What is the truth? When it comes to God, we have all had or have our doubts about God’s love for us. Some of us believe God loves us, some of us believe God might love me sometimes, some of us think God could never love someone like me. God wants you to know the truth, the truth that will truly set you free. It is hard to love someone if you don’t think they love you. What breaks God’s heart the most is not our sins; they have been dealt with on the cross. It is our so many misconceptions of Him. Most of all, our unbelief of His very, very great love for us. Would it not break your heart if your own children always thought that way about you? Yes, it would. I wrote this little book in the hope it might help people see that truth of who God is, what He thinks of us, who we are to God, what He wants from us, what he wants for us. He is a good father! I have seen so many people leave the church, run away from God, because of those misconceptions, those lies. It breaks God’s heart so much. I have seen so very many people who are all bound up in religion, trying so hard to earn God’s love, his favor. They try so hard, but deep down inside, they always wonder if it is enough. That truly breaks God’s heart! I have seen people dying full of fear that God may not even love them. You just cannot have a proper relationship with God if you have a distorted view of Him. He wants you to know the truth that will set you free!

Chapter 1

God, Do You Really Love Me?

Misconceptions of God, we all have them in one way or the other.

Who is God to you? How do you think of God? When you hear the word God, what comes to your mind?

The Bible tells us who God is, but we can still get so confused about who He really is. Do you think He is just a mean God in heaven and can’t wait to judge you and punish you in some way? Do you always think He is angry with you in some way? Do you
