Brilliant way to make it look like our everyday relationships. A friend who rejects. Or plays favorites. <br /><br />I'm in this place.plain dresshttp://www.plainbrowndress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13997414.post-24243624725617957762009-09-06T17:45:24.419-05:002009-09-06T17:45:24.419-05:00The pain of your feeling of abandonment by God is ...The pain of your feeling of abandonment by God is excruciatingly palpable in this piece. How agonizing for you to have experiential and factual knowledge of who He is but apparently not to be able to access intimacy with Him at this point in time. The good thing is that He will break through. He will show you He is already enfolding you in His embrace. <br />Keep writing. <br />I love you.

Across the ...Now let me finish your story for you:<br /><br />Across the room there is another girl watching. And she thinks, "There goes Lorie. She is so pretty. Her hair is so beautiful and she always dresses so stylishly. Her husband has the best sense of humor and is great with their kids. Her kids get to go to private school and her house looks like something out of Better Homes and Gardens. She's even so self confident she's able to walk up to God all on her own! She's so blessed." In other words, sweetie, to someone on the outside looking in YOU are the one with the perfect life! You are blessed. Abundantly so. <br /><br />Why do you say, Lorie, and complain, "My way is hidden from the Lord; my cause is disregarded by my God?" Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Is 40: 27-31<br /><br />We cannot fit God in our human box. He won't fit. He is too HUGE and great and awesome. God may be frustrating to you right now, but that is not an indication of His forgetfullness. Close your eyes and think of your children. Let the greatness of your love for them wash over you and make you cry with the enormity of it. Now, tell yourself, God loves you even more than that. Even more. He has not forgotten your name, Lorie. He loves it too much. He knows it and remembers it and loves it.<br /><br />BonnieBonnienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13997414.post-2467068396019203222009-09-06T00:33:02.923-05:002009-09-06T00:33:02.923-05:00Sounds like a hard place.

I'm sad reading it.<br /><br />And yet, when I'm with you, the God I know always points out what a lovely hum your soul has... maybe we can get you and Him together.<br />KPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
