Yet still I arrive at this sadness. Yet still, God seems a distance off. My last thread was to do with how I did not find a sense of a meaningful relationship and relevance amongst many Church people. I still don't.
Chazz,
I understand. We must keep in mind God created us to have fellowship with Him. That is why filling "the holes" with booze, drugs or sex simply does not work..... That "hole" is a God shaped one... Nothing else will fit....
Interestingly, as I read your post, I remembered back to an informal gathering we used to have every other week on Saturday nights back in Pittsburgh, PA.... It was held at an old church... We would sing.... Jimmy would preach a short sermon.... We would gather around, sing and pray.... It was truly an awesome time.... It just felt like that little old church had been transported to heaven and we were in His presence... Overwhelmed by it all..... There are no words to describe that... I TOTALLY miss that........ I wish I could find a group like that again...
We also need to remember God is constant.... We are the ones who move away.... I know I need to get back to reading the Bible daily and meditating on His word.... I need to pray more often... Seek Him more.....
Take Care,
RMG
