You are here, so you must know God loves you. All the true members of the Body of Jesus love you, so yes, you are loved. Now, I grew up pretty much the same way, and I see we are the same age. I wonder if our time here has anything to do with this experience, or is it simply God's personal manner of teaching each of us. Everything works for the good for those who love God, amen.
The whole issue is that we should not require, need or want the love in return. True love always asks 'How can I help my partner?' 'How can I help my friend?'
If anything you do is only beneficial to yourself, it is done for love of yourself. Loving oneself opens you up to self importance. And self importance teaches us to expect. When you expect, your expectations are broken, and when they are broken, we become self righteous and angry. Therefore, do not require love. Require to give it.

It is written, succinctly so, God is Love. The Love that is God is truly unconditional, and when we have that gift, we become more as He. The eternal gifts are faith, hope and love, and of the three the most important is love. Without love, faith and hope are of no value. When one has the gift of love, it is not limited to an individual, it is directed to all, unconditionally. May YHWH receive all the glory now and forever, amen.
With all due respect, I have yet to find the emptiness within myself fulfilled solely by believing that God is love and all we need to fill ourselves is that knowledge.
Love comes through the practice of giving it. Because true love wants nothing in return. This is the problem. Lots of people believe that simply by saying 'I profess, God, you are love', that we automatically feel fuller. We need to realise that to feel contentment means giving. Not receiving.
