   What is love for God?   
   How does it feel?   
   How does it manifest?   
   I love myself.   
   God and I are one and the same.   
   So in that sense, I love God as myself.   
   I don't understand love for a fantasy character.   
   There is no way to know if you understand either.   
      
   > Because I DO LOVE God!!! With every fiber of my being.   
      
   I don't trust words from others.   
   I need to feel it myself.   
   How does it feel?   
   How does it manifest?
