Subject: forgiveness confirmed? |
Bible Note: Emmaus, I want to thank you for your response, once again. You're correct in pointing out that there are certainly varying degrees of emotional reactions, and the absence or lack of one doesn't negate the value of an intellectual one. But just as emotions are not true barometers, sometinmes they are real indicators of very real warning that something is not quite right. It's just not clear to me which my experiences or lack thereof means. My concern is, on the bottom line, can a man be presumptuous in assuming God's forgiveness, when in truth, things are not right. I know the remark probably seems strange, but it's the thought that makes my fear have legs. Maybe, He just wants me to trust without any evidence. Maybe, my feelings are accurate and I shouldn't quit trying to settle things with Him. Maybe I'm just letting my fears get the best of me. Somehow, I just think that if my son was afraid I didn't love him anymore, I'd certainly let him know that I did. |
