In reply to God are you there?, posted by rjlockhart98 on August 8, 2005, at 21:41:03
Yes, He's there, and here, and everywhere. That's His nature.
He's with you right now, and sometimes we can sense Him, and sometimes we can't. That's why our faith has to rise above our feelings, above our perceptions. Yes, I know that's a hard thing to do...
But He knows what you can bear, and what you can handle... which is why He wants you to release your burdens to Him. Just tell Him that you can't handle them anymore, and would He please take them from you?
It's ok to ask Him for a sign of His assurance... a sign of His love, and His care for you. It's ok. He knows we're weak, and it's no shame... it just is. In fact, it's when I'm the most weak that I can "allow" Him to be the most strong for me...
I just tell Him that I can't handle it (whatever it is at the time) anymore, and if He doesn't take over, then it's just going to fall apart, because I'm powerless over such things.
He's come through for me, time and again, and I'm so happy to hear that he's come through for you, too.
God, can you give him another sign? One that he can't miss... one that touches him deeply. One that stirs him, and lets him feel Your love for him.
We all need that sometimes, God. Thank You that you ARE love itself.
Shalom, Dena
