Each of us have something to give to each other that the Lord has given us, that the Lord has placed within us. You love us just the way we are - with all of our limitations, and our struggles. I didn't feel a love, an emotional love. I still don't most of the time, but yet I know it's like a thing in the back of my mind, knows that God loves me and knows who I am. The thing of God that sets this whole thing apart is His commitment to us in spite of all of our feelings and emotions that would want to deny His love for us. That's the secret about this whole thing. It doesn't require emotions and feelings and sensations initially, but you can get excited when you see Him manifest Himself through each and every one of us, including yourself. It's Him bringing it forth in these vessels that open themselves up to His love, to the awareness of who He is. Tell him how much you love Him and you'll find out you just pulled the cord on the waterfall, His love back to you.
