Dear Akner39:
I hesitated to respond to your post because I'm not really supposed to be on this site, but your problem is so close to my own that I couldn't help it. I lost my earthly father at the age of 5 to a heart attack. I was raised by a mother who, although she loved me, was not into physical expressions of love. She was also somewhat into "I love you when a you agree with/obey me." As a result, I never really knew what it was like to experience parental love.
As such, I found it very hard to accept the fact that God loves me unconditionally. Even now, I sometimes struggle with the concept. I am constantly asking Him to transfer what I know in my head to what I feel in my heart, so I can truly experience his love through Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. But I can tell you unequivocally, HE IS THERE! I have many more years of experience to draw on, but when I look back on my life I can literally pinpoint the times when he intervened in my life; the night when I was 20 and totaled my mother's car, AND LIVED, when I was 45 and survived a bout with cancer, WITH NO LINGERING SIDE EFFECTS, etc., etc..
Keep trying! You will succeed! Like someone in a previous post, I would suggest that get deeply into Scripture. The more you read and understand, the more God will become "alive" to you, and the more you will be receptive to His voice. I am sure that He wants to establish an intimate relationship with you. I will close with some advice from Jesus Christ, found in the books of both Matthew and Luke, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened."
God bless you.
