Kind of embarrassing to say(type), but I need help. I"m not sure if I love God, even a little, I am just learning to "love". I would like to know how to love Him. And if I DO love him, than how can I get my love for Him to grow? Thanks for any help I get.

Well, I know love isn't just a feeling, and since you care about it, I think you probably *do* love God. Sorry I can't be more help right now...

Be honest with him, talk to him often, read the Bible more, discuss verses with others, serve people, show unconditional love to everyone. None of this is possible without strength from God. But all show that you love Him. Learn to enjoy His prescence, His love, who He is. Then work from there. God Bless!

ok, I hope this helps. and I hope this doesn't sound corny but...
you know that tingly feeling you get when you see a certain movie or hear a certain song? the goosebumps you get when the breeze hits you? etc? well, try to LIVE in that moment and contemplate what the believe God is like. for me, I had to learn to love myself and respect myself and then I realized that God made me out of love. and well...

God is love so how do you love love itself? Perhaps just by comtemplating that question you might be able to find the answer within you. Try just contemplating on love for say five minutes a day and the answer you're seeking might come to you. Maybe write a letter to God and then letting Him speak to you through the holy spirit might work?

I agree with W4J. Loving God is not always a fluffy emotion. We show our love to God by what we do with the lives he has given us. Showing love to God is a concious decision that we make each day.

PRAYER and Worship.
Take a look at John 14-15 and maybe 16, dry phases always received water that way by me. I'll pray, remember to put nothing before Him, all idols must go! And are you willing to do whatever He tells you?

1 Corinthians 13: 4-8
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
My love is growing:)
