not sure why I got a notice that you commented here, Daniel Marsh .. I do not know you and I never posted here .. 

Hi Margo,  it is very basic in Biblical Hebrew thinking the heart is where the mind is.   The division of the heart as being only emotions and brain being the mind is a modern concept that this thread is reading into the bible.   Causing an artificial distinction biblically speaking.

Psa 111:10  The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments. His praise endures forever.

I don't often feel I love God either.  My love is so inadequate and puny when compared to His sending His son to suffer and die for me.  Mine is brotherly love for God-- more like  affection, deep friendship and that of a daughter; I have not shed my blood on His behalf though that may be required someday.  All I do know it that life is not worth living without Him--in the filth and shallowness of the world.  When Jesus said to Peter, do you agape love me? Peter replied I phileo love you Lord.  So Peter realized his love was brotherly as well.  Eventually he did die for God.

just an added clarification .. I "know" I love God but I do not 
"feel" such love and want to both know and feel

 

Emotions are not what we evaluate God with, Faith is how we walk in God!!

 

Ever see the poem called "Footprints in the Sand" and it only shows one set of footprints?

 

Footprints in the Sand

One night I had a dream.

I dreamed I was walking along the beach
with the Lord..

Across the sky flashed scenes from my life..
For each scene, I noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand,
one belonging to me, and the other to the Lord..

When the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that many times along the path of my life
there was only one set of footprints.
I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest
and saddest times in my life.

This really bothered me 
and I questioned the Lord about it:
"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most 
troublesome times in my life 
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why 
when I need you most you would leave me."

The Lord replied:
"My precious child, I love you and would
never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints, it was then
that I carried you."

 

 

God loves you so much He died for you.   Just read this poem and apply it to your life.   I bet you will be able to relate to it.   Just keep your Faith in God, He will always show you how much that He loves you, even when you don't feel it!!

simply by just observing the head with in your spirit you can feel your intelligence. now in like fashion find your heart and you will find love. 

one  must have an understanding mind and a pure heart when coming to our lord. he must be born again.

Hi Nick , and that is what it's all about, without the Holy Spirit, which comes and lives inside a person when they are born again, nobody will know the truth as truth only comes from God.

John 14:6 

6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

yes, I do know we walk in faith and I am familiar with that song and know there are times when the Lord carried me .. all I am saying and I continue to say it is that I would like to "feel" some of what I "know" .. I realise such is not necessary but I would still like to have it .. I am happy, though, that I do have faith and that it is strong and unwavering .. 

Hi Margo,

We don't live by feelings but by the Word of God, Gods Word tells us that He loves us and by knowing what He did for us, we are thankful and know we are loved and love Him back, not by human feelings of love but by the love of God. ( Can't compare this love to human love as humans always fail us in one way or another but God never will.) We can  have the peace of understanding of how much He loves us when we're born again :)

I "know" I love God and I "know" God loves me .. I, obviously, cannot get people to understand what I mean, so I shall stop trying to say it but all can be assured, I do "know" what I am saying ..

Amen !

Love is not a feeling but knowing God loves us :)  It's not based on feelings or emotions, He loves us unconditional if we put our faith in Him :heart:
