Fellow Labourers-
Most of us can commiserate with this article in one way or the other. There has been times when God seems so far away. And I don't believe that in those moments "absence makes the heart grow fonder." Instead we are faced with a moment of dread. A moment that seems imponderable.Yet, it is in those same moments that we can find the greatest assurance. When he seems so far away that we are forced to seek him earnestly, then there comes a calm assurance "Standing somewhere in the shadows you will find him."
For us as human beings it would seem that the sensory preceptor that we use to perceive God determines how near or how far he is from us. If we rely on our emotions he may seem to be absent more often than not. If we rely on our experiences for some people he may never ever be present. I don't know how you perceive him, but like Job I will shout "I know that my redeemer lives."
Pax Vobiscum
