You again are in the sphere of what I've been thinking. <br /><br />Being in church my whole life, since 2 weeks old, I understand the comment, but am here to put another "spin" on it. I, for some reason, have been given a massive heart for God. I don't understand where it came from, so to speak, but I have been experiencing His unconditional love from the beginning. It is from this angle that I can see the flaws in human theology better. It is futile on this side of it, too. I have given more to the church and to God and received less, so to speak. My frustration comes from the older brothers perspective in the prodigal son story. "But God I have done all of this for you and I didn't get so much as a 'boo' from you, yet, these guys go lallygagging around and get the whole shebang! What's up here?" He responds to me, "You have been a recipient of my love the whole time, and everything I have is yours. You understand that love is all you need. These other guys, need me to show up, so that they see my work in their lives, otherwise they wouldn't know I existed. You already know this and are content with that." Well, sigh. Sometimes (all the time) He just knows how to put things in perspective.John Ferrellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6707481305428611927.post-39287792577495660402011-01-31T00:46:38.370-06:002011-01-31T00:46:38.370-06:00As the "vilest offender" myself, I very ...As the "vilest offender" myself, I very much enjoyed this and found it a blessing.EdenFirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08996811990986704538noreply@blogger.com
