Treeschanna,

I don't know how old (or young) you are but in my case I turned as young as 54 years of age last september and I still sometimes find it hard to love God for the same reasons you are mentionning. Don't forget that Jesus on the cross said to our Father: Father why are you letting me down? or something like that... It is for sure because of his sufferiing in flesh. About Blessings and Christ revealed to me, I never experienced it as a physical matter, because I too live in flesh. But I do have a stronger connexion with my creator (spirituality), when I am alone, quiet, an available. Most of the time it is in the middle of the night or early in the morning, sometimes in dreams, and I have the impression that He is feeding me, somehow. At some point I am carefull because human imagination is strong and is supported by our own experiences, readings, movies, television and so on. I sometimes think that I am one of the 2 witnesses of revelation and sometimes so strong that I had been looking for the second one!!! But this is not all. I was born with 2 birth marks on my feet, fairly rouded and the size of nails that where used during crucifiction times. I even made some research and ended up finding that they are placed exactly where some people had been crucified at the time. So you see one has to be carefull with his imagination :ewink: You have a heart as big as the universe and guts all over the place. And I admire your courage. Hope this helped. By the way I don't mind reading you in a full sentence in one single phrase, blink to Zoegirl.

Zeb,

I just wanna point out that in crying out, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?..." Jesus was actually rejoicing in Psalm 22, a beautiful Psalm which actually glorifies God and indeed ends in the glorification of the LORD. Far from questioning God, Jesus is rejoicing in the Psalm.

God bless

If you want to see God it's as simple as looking up, take a good look around you, the grandeur of His earthly creation, the sky, mountains, storms, rivers and the tiny world within a world that is found in the grass. I see God everywhere, He is always there and always busy with the affairs of our lives and the worlds. It has been my experience that if I want something from Him and it is in His will for me, I simply ask and He answers in magnificent ways, always. If you love your neighbor as yourself you will be loving God and to live for Him you simply ask Him how and He will show you, so pay attention. Ask and He will grant to you this desire of your heart. Have a marvel-filled day!
