"I'm as close to God as I choose to be" That is so true! Often times I don't feel God's presence, I feel as if he's abandoned me, or that he's not interested in me, but the truth is he never leaves me. I'm the one not drawing close to him. The times where I choose not to feel his presence are the times where I find myself doing things I ought not to be! There are many times where I'm very self-centered and forget about my family and friends, I need to place more value in the people I love and care about just like God shows value in me. My relationship with God needs to be priority, I do love him and I pray that my love for him grows stronger and stronger each day. I don't ever want to fall out of love with him. Choices I can make today to grow closer to God are be friendlier, try not to gossip, be honest with God and conitnually say the prayer "Dear Jesus, more than anything, I want to get to know you intimately."
Dee I know exactly what your feeling, so many times I feel abandoned and beg that if I could just feel you Lord. All the time he write there next to me. Our relationship with God is truly in our hands and we need to make it a priority. These past couple of weeks have been such a struggle on many different levels so I feel like it's such a test.
During these times I want to strengthn my faith and to be honest more like the past couple of years has been one hell of a struggle. This chapter taught me so much about be truthful and honest with God. Truly telling him how I feel and not sugar coating it like he didn't already know. Bitterness can destroy any relationship let alone the one with your creator that controls everything. This chapter resulted in me having a heart to heart with God and basically getting some things off my chest. I didn't realize the resentment until I just started talking saying it outloud. So DEE you're not the only one there talking about on the freeways.
I like the 15 minute private time in the morning. I'm gonna try it mornings have been really difficult lately so I it's probably exactly what I need.
I hope everyone has a peaceful weekend. Love, God Bless and Take Care
I am as close to God as I choose to be...wowsers. I feel that I am close to God but there is so much more inside of me to give to him. I like where he talks about being completely honest with God. Tell him exactly how I feel about everthing. I just love that because I always feel like even if I don't understand something that I cannot question what God does as it is disprespectful. Reading this chapter helped me understand that I don't need to questions but I can be honest and tell him that I don't understand certain things. I think sometimes when we feel lonely we need to take the time and remember that God is always there for us and he wants to hear from us.
