Phil makes me think. His saturday post is something to be read (see link on left side). I wonder if I struggle with feeling/knowing/living in God's love? When I ask myself that, I know the answer is yes. But this world makes me so busy I don't really miss it. Wow. Now that's hard to say. I do miss it, in the sense that I long for it. I simply am unaware of my longings.
Phil, you've got me thinking Nouwen now, and though I haven't read as much of him as you, I think he has an answer for my problem. In "Making All Things New" he urges us to take time in solitude and community...to establish a sort of conversational rhythm with God through those things that allows us to hear God. (I'm probably grossly miscommunicating this) - So my problem is just to try to hear him and know him...then I can realize my struggle with living in His overwhelming love.
***God forgive me when I doubt the call you've place in my life. God forgive me when I stay away from you. God forgive me when I work too much. God forgive me. God forgive me.***
