Bible Question (short): Thanks Doc, That was helpful. I don't kn |
Question (full): Thanks Doc, That was helpful. I don't know the ways of the Lord, not well enough anyway. I think that is my main problem. I need to get closer to Him, to His heart. What i meant by His presence in my room while i pray, was His manifest presence. But again, God knows whats best; i dont doubt that, i just dont understand it. I'll continue to pray on it, but i cant help thinking about Jesus, and the disciples, and Paul etc... the miracles they performed (and the frequency)... how much more Godly must they be (Jesus obviously) than i am, and is it possible for me or ANYONE to be as close to God's heart as they. I've never met anyone that has been a vessel for God's Spirit to work miracles through like the new testament bible people. Is it just a matter of time? Of spending enough of my life following Christ and clothing myself in him? I've prayed to touch the heart of God, and im quite sure (as in the scriptures) that i can't achieve by works or good deeds... I think after all this thinking it boils down to this, 'i want more God, and i dont want to waste another second of my life without having as much of Him as possible'. I want a life were i can be like God's friend, talk to Him like He is my Father (which He certainly is), why do i have to wait for what God wants so badly with me? I know He loves me and His heart burns for me, we want the same thing there (my love for Him will never be as complete as His for me though). I want to dwell in His presence, in His glory. Im sorry if i offend anyone with what i say. Im pretty young, so i admit i need a lot more wisdom. Again, thanks for having the patience to read this. |
