From my youth, I’ve been exposed to God’s love for me ,yet despite all His attempts to prove that love, there are many times that am afraid to trust Him,trust his all encompasing and unconditional love for me. I’m afraid if i trust in His love too much, I may take advantage of it and fall into perpetual sin. At other times , I ask myself what right I have to think that He loves me so particularlly when I look around and see many peolpe He loves (since He loves all) in far worse conditions that i am in and the thought that hell is populated with peole God loves.
