The first question I have to ask, is what kind of evidence do you require? The nature of proof is a delicate issue, for some, subjective experience will do, while others may require cold hard facts. The first evidence I would point you to is the Bible. The Bible portrays God as a multi-faceted being, yes He is a God of love, but He also hates sin. Read these chapters in the New Testament John 3, Romans 5 and 8, 1 John 1. this will show both mentioned aspects of God. Second, any person who has been forgiven by God through Jesus, can testify to God's unconditional love. One must understand, that God wants you the way you are, He'll take care of the changing. Just rest in what He has done for you at His own expense, then you will know in a small way how enormous God's love is for you.

I'm still here. As a child, I had a brain abcess. My parents were praying I had viral meningitis because at the time that only had a 90% mortality rate, if you get the idea. The doctors said even if I lived by some miracle, I'd be nothing but a vegetable for the rest of my life. They did an EEG, and they could see the abcess, but the edges were a little fuzzy, so they were going to do an angiogram the next morning, then wheel me into surgery. When they did the angiogram, the abcess was gone--it had literally disappeared overnight. There was so much infection that if it had opened suddenly, like they usually do, the poison would have killed me, so it must have somehow developed a leak slow enough for my body to absorb it. If that doesn't show God's love for a little girl and her family, I don't know what does.

When I reached bottom and cried to God that the situation was too much. I could not take the pain. Then a feeling of peace and calmness came over me. Knew everything would be alright. Did this the first time out of desperation, but now I turn to God whenever things become too much for me to take on by myself.

Try it, because it really works ~ but only if you do it from the heart.

And guess what ~ I am not a religious person! Have become spiritual though.

You are presuming that there is a God who loves you. At most, I suspect what you have is a Higher Power which leaves the billions of human individuals to their own devices. (And, after all we are part of the animal kingdom. Do you think that God loves your cat or the primates that are in the zoo?) Adopt your ethics for their own sake. Do you love yourself? That's where it starts. Then broaden this love to others simply because you know that it is the right thing to do. You are wasting your time to dwell so much on an abstraction.

If you're talking about the God of the Bible: the very notion of forgiveness.

Why should God forgive any of us? Yet he did at a cost to himself.

Do other religions have this concept? (Not many if any at all)

Yet, that's the message of the Bible. And it's available to anyone and everyone.

That's something amazing to reflect on.

There cannot be any evidence like that which is sought and cited in favour my mother's/father's/friend's love for me. Hence, in this case, either nothing , or everything that happens to me, is evidence of His love.

None. But I do believe in the notion that God is all there is and there is nothing he is not. If one believes that, then that is all the evidence that one needs.

I see by the previous answers the good that happened to these people is attributed to God..his love

Then it only stands to reason that the bad that happens to them is also attributed to God..his wrath

no evidence because there is no gods, god is a word people use nothing more words cannot by themsevles express love and god does not mean love, love is blind like all the people who worship a god

There is no evidence that I can see, because there are no gods.
