I think we all ask that question at some point or other. I think I ask that question every time I screw up and sin horribly. I think it's easier to understand in terms of family or even having a pet. You just love them, even when they're being retarded or shitty. I imagine parents get to experience an even better understanding of it.
I am thankful that my mom instilled certain ideas into my head at such an early age, one being that you can always go to God. The idea that whether I was good or bad, whether some issue was big or little, that I just always go to him, that has helped me through a lot of things. Heck, sometimes you even have to sit in your car and scream at him. It's not so much about the direct idea of whether or not he loves me, so much as knowing I can go to him. What he chooses to do (or not do) is up to him, of course, but he won't ever leave or forsake us. Of late, I find a particular phrase from one of the letters (Paul, I think) helping me: it's the one about how even if we are unfaithful, he will still be faithful.
