How do I know God loves me?
My answer: I personally know God loves me when He surprises with gifts only He knows I will enjoy in particular.
since I am a writer by profession...
whenever I see certain magazines and books I've been looking in discount bookstores
when someone gifts me a book that I didn't know I will find very helpful
since I am an avid 'birder' (birdwatching enthusiast) and a B.S. Biology major in college...
when I discover new birds in our backyard by accident, or any new species of anything
whenever I encounter the beguiling and mysterious beauty of nature even the supposedly scary aspects
since I am into personal/spiritual growth and I've been in counseling and psychotherapy for some years...
whenever I have a new realization about life
whenever I finally get in touch with disrupted feelings/emotions over an issue in the past that I got traumatized in
whenever I find myself repenting of a past sin (more and more conversion)
since I love to eat...
whenever I encounter a new flavor
I know God loves me through the air I breathe, the water I drink, the three square meals a day that I eat (plus snacks), the other basic necessities met such as shelter and clothing, through my family, through my friends old and new, through others who are good people.
