That is so normal - I battle with that too. Try to use a bible dictionary or concordance and look up everything you can on Gods love for us. Know you are included in anything the bible says about His love for us. Look into the bible and read about all the dysfunctional people God used in major ways. We are no different.

Read 1 Corinthians chapter 13 in the Holy Bible. I suggest you get a New Living translation which is written in plain modern English. Then you will know what love is and God is love.
If you love your parents, think about the kind of love you have for them. You should love God the same way, for He is your Father in heaven.
If you have children, think about the kind of love you have for them. God loves you more than that. If your children stray and do bad things, you still love them and are quick to forgive them and you try to guide them back to the right path. God does all this and so much more. Because He loves you so much, if you were the only one to ever exists, He would have come down and died just for you.
If you are a man, you are a prince for your Father in Heaven is the King.
If you are a woman you are a princess for your Father in Heaven is the King.
Get it?

Letting God in means getting all the stuff that was the old you, out. You need to look at yourself and admit...these things that are in me...have not been good. They have led me towards destruction. I want a 'clean heart'. I want a renewed mind. And then you consciously...surrender those old ways.
There are many people who feel unfulfilled in God. They dont feel that hunger for Him. Well you have to figure, if you are gorging yourself on things of the world...you will be too full...to receive the things of God. You have to get those old ways, old 'hungers', old desires, out of your spirit...and that will make room for Christ. Getting to that point where you feel God has had it with you is actually a very important period, in the life of a believer. It shows that you have become cognizant that you've been running...and you are tired...and you desire for the things of God. He is certainly not done with you..in fact...this feeling,...is the first step in giving you just the slightest *hint of the awesome mercies of God. WHen you are so disgusted with yourself...and you realize He has loved you through it...it makes you want to surrender to HIm all the more.

God is already in every heart. Past Good or bad feelings r like veils of dirt surrounding it. Holding on to this dirt only postpone the inner vision. Clearing it with virtues help clearing the inner vision.

The assumption here is that our hearts (somehow) lie outside of God's jurisdiction and God can only enter if we allow "him" to. The fact is that we are all a part of God. It is our unconscious state of being that makes us feel separate.

First thing there is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus. Sounds to me that the devil is throwing it your way. Give God first place in your life by starting your day out in prayer

You can't do anything to separate yourself from God...God is not only in your heart, but your head and everywhere else.
No place need be given...just surrendering to what is.

He is already there. The question is will we tell our ego to shut up long enough to hear his love for us?

Actually, you just need some empty space in your head first.
