I’m really trying to understand how I invested so much time seeking out god by not only attending my own church, but visiting other churches and talking to people who were ‘born again’ to find out what that meant. And yet, I’ve still never felt his presence. Am I really a bad person that god doesn’t want me to know him? Or is my heart so blackened that I cannot accept god when he is standing right in front of me?
You know, I don't have all the answers but my experience has been this. If I'm not feeling God's presence, then I need to examine my life and how I'm living it.
