Hello everyone,
Two weeks ago, I received my first sacraments and ever since then it feels like my feelings have magnified with regards to how much I am blessed. Suddenly, I'm having a lot more feelings and I feel more compassionate towards others and want to help more. Then I also have these overwhelming feelings of love towards and from God that feel as though it is too much for my heart to bear or handle.
I just love God more than I could ever convey through words or actions. No matter what I do to express this love, it never feels as though it is enough. I try praying and the feelings don't feel as though I've expressed them enough. I try to show other people God's love through my words and actions, but that also doesn't feel like enough. Then I try to share the word of God with others online. That helps me a bit to express that love for God in my heart, but it feels difficult when I engage in apologetics online, especially with one Protestant girl who insists that Catholicism is its own religion rather than a form of Christianity. Somehow I just feel like I'm no match for how strong she comes on with her beliefs. And even with non-Christians, they just laugh at me or mock God.
In the end, I just have a lot of love and emotions, but not enough ways to express it. And the feeling of the love in my heart grows more and more each day. Once again, it sometimes feels like too much for my heart to bear. Can anyone relate? Does anyone have any advice on how I can further express my love for Jesus?
