The times when I've been failing, smothered, empty, hollow, and neglecting my relationship with Him -- giving up on any goodness in my life, and so too my final good -- those are the time when I crave Him. I actually feel. My heart writhes in longing. The blood through my veins and air in my lungs, He propels my life, and desperately I need Him. How merciful that in the times I most neglect Him, He grants me the most feeling and longing for Him.
A 2011 video brought me here. glad to see you've got an awesome 2014 post.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Bible story is that of Jesus, the Pharisee, and the woman who washed Jesus' hair. Luke 7:36-50 http://www.newadvent.org/bible/luk007.htm
