Christ v. Christianity

I have really struggled lately with the concept of RELIGION.
Why is it that I have grown in religion and not in the truth of Christ?
It seems that I have been taught and have "known" about the idea of Christ; His saving grace, His love, etc.
But something hit me tonight at youth....when it is said "JESUS LOVE ME" what happens?
As Dustin put it, that thought should EVOKE something, should stir something inside.
I asked myself How has God shown that he loves me? and I know that as John 3:16 states, He sent his son into the world to die so that I can live. I KNOW that, but do I BELIEVE it.
I seek to find trust in the truth that by "surrendering completely to the action of resting fully in the AbSoLuTe & ALL-ENCOMPASSING sovereignty of God: His LOVE, POWER, justice, and grace through the KnOwLeDgE of HIS WORD I can believe.
