He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not

I started reading He Loves Me for the second time. The first chapter talks about how most people use the daisy-petal method of determining how God feels about us at any given time. I, for one, am very guilty of doing this. For example, my husband got the job he wanted=He loves me, our house for sale hasn't sold for a year and a half now=He loves me not, I got pregnant=He loves me, I got sick=He loves me not; husband is losing his job=He loves me not, etc. Although there are many problems with this method it also gives me plenty of "evidence" that it's possible to and I should try to earn God's favor. I really must not pay attention when I read the Bible because that theology is in contrast to what it says. Some days it's just harder to trust God than other days...today is one of those days.
