God loves us. He really is our Father in Heaven. We truly are His children. I am grateful for this knowledge. We lived with Him before we came to this Earth. We are separated from Him now, and we must walk by faith if we hope to return to live with Him someday.
In the Book of Mormon today, I read an example of somebody who has felt God's love. The prophet, Alma, attempted to teach the wicked people of Ammonihah but was rejected. He leaves Ammonihah without intending to ever return. He is obviously pretty upset about the whole situation. The scriptures recordthat while Alma was "wading through much tribulation and anguish of soul ... an angel of the Lord appeared unto him". The angel comforted him and told him that he has "great cause to rejoice; for [he had] been faithful in keeping the commandments of God" (Alma 8: 14-15). So it is with us. God is happy with us when we do what is right. He is unhappy when we disobey his commandments. However he loves us equally either way. I so bear witness in the name of my savior Jesus Christ.
