Where is God?
I've just started reading this book and it talks about experiencing God
And i think we all want a bit of that.
so here's a little summary and let me know if it's helpful...
needs some effort though,as with every other aspect of your life.
Foundational Truths of My Life with God
* God is always present and active in my life, whether or not i see him
* Coming to recognize and experience God is learned behaviour. I can cultivate it
* My task is to meet God in this moment
* I am always tempted to live "outside" this moment.When i do that, I lose my sense of God's presence
* Sometimes, God seems far away for reasons I do not understand. Those moments,too, are opportunities to learn
* Whenever I fail, I can start again right away
* No one know the full extent to which a human being can experience God's presence
* My desire for God ebbs and flows, but His desire for me is constant
* Every thought carries a "spiritual charge" that bring me a little closer or farther away from God
* Every aspect of my life- work, relationships, hobbies, errands- is of immense and genuine interest to God
* My path to experiencing God will not look quite like anyone else's
* Straining and trying too hard will not help
Review these truths once a day for 2 weeks as you cultivate the practice of God's presence.
from "God is closer than you think", John Ortberg

Drink.
Works for some.
