I wonder if I actually 'Got it' as a child, and even as an adult, practicing a faith, which I did not really understand or believe it. I went along with it. I was in it, but not of it.<br /><br />Eventually, I came to what I thought was my senses and got rid of all of the baggage and stuff associated with the fairy story, I believed my life to have been up till than.<br /><br />Some things hung on - unlike you, the Religious stuff I was taught, learned by rote (by heart) hung around in dark corners, rebelling, but I quelled it by ignoring it. Telling myself not to be stupid. I effectively silenced the 'Small, Quiet, Voice deep inside".<br /><br />Two years ago, God shouted at me - in the form of a whisper, the silent voice spoke and said, "I am here - let me in". I was in such desperate circumstances that I actually listened, and more importantly acted. <br /><br />God is love - he proclaims it in so many ways through creation, nature, the arts, science, technology but most importantly, through people, created in his likeness. <br /><br />Your allegory of him shouting from the Cross is one, which I can relate to. When he used the words, "My God, Why have you foresaken me" they could have been applied to me in the dark, empty years between loss of belief and 28th June 2008, someone died that day as well - a man, but as a result of it, I live again, after dealing with its aftermath. It showed me that your strength is not enough - you need to be able to lay all of your troubles at the feet of Jesus, who suffered for all to heal our wounds and our sins.<br /><br />Things are not perfect, stuff continues to come back from even childhood to raise issues requiring to be dealt with, but the difference is that I have support and love surrounding me and helping me to be healed and reconciled to what happened over 50 years ago.<br /><br />God is Great.UKViewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114944341930758335noreply@blogger.com
