You could get hurt, for instance. Like falling in love after being hurt badly - it's easier to believe badly of the situation and give up on it than it is to open up and trust it, which would leave you vulnerable and most importantly, take you somewhere you've never been before. Fear of the unknown again? People are used to pain and hurt. 'Better the devil you know' mentality?<BR/><BR/>When you think about it, it takes courage to feel. <BR/><BR/>A 'Christian' woman once said to me that the silver cross I was wearing around my neck meant I didn't really believe in God because it wasn't made of gold. I swear I heard God chuckle.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12857205687751482825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968054322253311157.post-11151300413709551482007-03-14T21:30:00.000-07:002007-03-14T21:30:00.000-07:00Kris,Maybe they expect a profound epiphany.

For others, I'm equally sure they experienced a more subtle feeling of divine inner peace. Most certainly, "one size does not fit all." Knowing His Love is truly an individual and highly personal experience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968054322253311157.post-17095586964975152392007-03-14T21:07:00.000-07:002007-03-14T21:07:00.000-07:00Mark,I feel sorry for people who believe they are ...Mark,<BR/><BR/>I feel sorry for people who believe they are alone as they travel through this veil of joy and tears. I think that's what saddens me most about skeptics and non-believers. Even in a crowd I would feel terribly alone if I thought it was just "them and me."<BR/><BR/>People seem to sense evil quite readily. Why is it so hard to sense its opposite?

In times of tragedy and pain, which I can personally attest to, I cannot imagine making life's journies alone. Even in the good times, it is comforting to know that I am not and never will really be alone. As of late, the poem "Footsteps", whose author's name escapes me, often comes to mind and without a doubt says it best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
