I read this when you first wrote it a...Michelle - <br /><br />I read this when you first wrote it and have come back to it several times since. It is well written and communicates powerfully. Your writing certainly expresses feelings that I have had better than I could have expressed them myself.<br /><br />I have two thoughts that may or may not be useful. :-)<br /><br />1. I think that in times like you describe we need to choose to stand in faith that God loves me completely and is with me always - even when all the evidence I have says otherwise. It seems to me that at some point we all must make the decision to believe what is written in scripture instead of what we see with our eyes and feel with our hearts. Everything in life may be screaming otherwise, but we believe.<br /><br />2. It is also helpful for me to remember that this whole thing was God's deal anyway. I wasn't looking for HIm. He came and got me. So, too, is being in His presence. I may think I am seeking Him, but the truth is that He has already been seeking me. When we make being in His presence about our works instead of His, we miss seeing the arms of a loving Father reaching out towards us. So, even in our desperate shouting for God, we can recognize His hand drawing us to Him and causing us to long for Him - or else we would not shout.Kevin Grenierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10687358168377344638noreply@blogger.com
