You have no idea how much God loves you.
Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.
While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.
Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.
I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.
I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.
I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.
Your brother don

Yes, he absolutely does. Its really tough when things in our life go very wrong. We recently had to bury a friend who was still young and has a 12 yr daughter. But we were all consoled that her and our hope is not with the things of this world for our short journey through this life. When things go badly we look forward more and more to the day when our journey through this desert brings us to our final destination, The Promised Land, our eternal dwelling where we will not suffer any more. God took an eternal view when he set out to conquer sin and suffering in this world. We sometimes have a hard time seeing the big eternal picture when we are way down in this life's dark valleys. But one day we'll be raised up to the mountain top and see the big picture, Gods eternal plan and the little dips along the way won't matter to us anymore. Live in that hope, for that wonderful day, for that time when all problems and ills will be taken away forever.

WOW.
Hmmmm. Yes he does.
Life is sure tough. I know that we need as much support as we can get to make it through the hardships that come our way daily.
As a christian, we have the hope and promise that with all trials God will make a way of escape/ that is being able to handle it.
From what you have said, He already has. Just that you may have to be patient and wait a couple of months, right.
It sounds like you are a single mom.
It is a possibility that God is using this temporary trial to get through to you. If you had the kids out of marriage, than at one point you were falling away from the Lord.
He loves you much much more than you even CAN love your kids, and as you miss them sooooo much- It is possible that you may be falling away from Jesus and he wants YOU BACK! =)
*The fact that you do know of the Lord, and are on here shows because of circumstances etc, your open is open.
well ive typed enough for the moment.
Feal free to ask other questions on this forum etc, and I hope other believers too, will be helpful for you.
God bless you AS YOU READ HIS WORD.
HE LOVES YOU AND YOURS GREATLY!!
*He would rather have you and your kids ETERNALLY WITH HIM TOGETHER, becuase of some trials than to lose you by walking away. -LIVE4TRUTH =] read Psalms and Proverbs each day. A little will help you throughout the day! =) =) =)

He does care.
He loves you!
Sometimes we can have so much emotional hurt built up inside that it’s hard to talk to God without all that hurt building up a wall. The process of healing from the hurt can take time.
I think the process involves a number of things. You need a good support system. If you can’t find one in your local area, look at Yahoo groups under religion for a women’s group. There are several that might be good depending on your specific needs.
Hang in there and know that you are loved by God no matter what.

You know God Loves you because the Bible tells you so.
His love is unconditional and yes life is tough and not always fair. Faith, Hope and Love, the greatest of these being love.
I don't know your circumstances or why you're children were taken from you, but use this time to address and hold on to the truth. Remember our God is a just God, but unfortunately your worldly future is in the hands of men.
God does not abandon His children in their darkest hours, give your worries to Him and trust that He will intervene on your behalf. This will give you peace that surpasses any human understanding.
You may want to gather a remnant of believers to pray with you and on your behalf. Where two or more are gathered in His name He will be there.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and I pray the truth will be revealed.
A sister in Christ

Go and kill the bastards. The state is not God either. Just other human beings. well, maybe not kill them
There is no all knowing all powerfull everywhere at once God.
Take life by the balls.
Everyone else sucks, thats why they treat you badly. They generally are christianized people. Stephen hawking is probably in worse situation. look what he accomplishes still
You have your mind and hands. Dont give in to the BS, rise up
drop God

I know that God loves you very much. The devil comes to kill, steal, and destroy, he tries to make our life here on earth miserable.. In times of trouble it is easy to get discouraged and ask God why? But in Job you will see that it is clearly Satan who put the trouble upon Job. Draw closer to God and you put the devil on the run, maybe not at first but as you grow in the Lord you will find Satan has no power.

Oh my dear, I wish I could take your hands in mine right now and look into your face and tell you, yes, yes, He loves you more than you can possibly know.
We don't look to circumstances to assure us if God loves us. Where do we look for all things? To His word. God says He will never leave nor abandon you. He said He has a plan for you, a plan to prosper you and not harm you, to give you hope and a future. Jesus told us that in this life, we would have trials and tribulations. You seem to have more than your share. But let me tell you truly, if you came to know Jesus Christ as your savior, and began really studying the bible, you would find answers and strength and joy, even in the face of such serious setbacks.
I pray in Jesus name that God touch you with His love and power, that He lead you to the path of peace and joy. You are His treasure.

Every much... You can raise above everything with Gods help. Don't look at what has happen to you,look at what don't happen to you. " I always cried because I had no shoes,until I met a man that had no feet." Always know that God does love you!!!! No matter what!

Sure He loves you. Did you take my advice and find a good church in your area and seek the counsel of some mature Christian women who can help you to see and know God's love and care for you?
