Not forsaken but...

I feel like I lost something.

I barrelled right along without it up until now. But now I quit.

Last Monday night during our church revival, God came near. His presence was thick and wonderful in ways I can't describe.

The absence of His presence though, is more saddening that I can describe also.

It is the weight of silence.

When the power and glory of God shown all about, we stop and listen.

What did He leave with you?

Peace, hope, direction, instruction, comfort, instruction. reaffirmation, strength????

What, my friend?

Larry, it's hard to answer your question. I went to bed full, satisfied, peaceful, hopeful, encouraged, strengthened, and woke up empty.

Anonymous, He IS still there. He promised He'd never leave me, so even if I felt like He wasn't there. It's not true. -- I just wish He would say something.

I took a quiet moment and said, "If you were going to say something God, what would you say?"

Instantly came the response, "Don't give up."

I come back online to see anonymous telling me what just happened.
God's creepy. But in a good way.

If I were only searching for more I'd be patient. But I can't wait with nothing.Though I did wait, at least until today to start complaining.

Why would He just turn things off? I'm not a toy and God doesn't play with me.
I believe He is a just and loving, and faithful God. But that doesn't mean I have to understand.
