seeing God

You know how long I have been looking to understand You... and Truth... and Reality.

Many others have been looking, too. And so many different results.

What is of human origin, what is deception, and what is you? Jehovah? It's really hard! :(

Please help me, in Jesus' name I ask... please help me to know what is from you. Discernment, God. Please...

No, I don't deserve it. But I need it. And I'm asking for it. Please."

******************************

I hear you Doug. To know me in this life is not very easy. You must look through a cloudy window. And sometimes you see shapes and images that play tricks on your mind and spirit.

And yes, sometimes the enemy tries to get you to see things that look like me, and gets your hopes up, leading you down the wrong path.

It is hard.

But he who seeks me shall find me. Patience, perserverance, discernment, humility, integrity, fellow believers, and my special, wonderful Spirit... these will all be aids in your quest.

One day you will know me fully. Your great dream will be realized. But not in this life. Not in this life.

Be patient. The "hope" lies before you. Don't give up... Never give up.

And relax. There is only so much you can do. Rest in me.
