Forgiven

I am not religious; just forgiven! And, as such, I will put my trust in the Lord. I, personally and with all my heart want to enter His rest!
He loves us enough to have become like us and “shared our humanity so that by his death he might break.. the power of him who holds the power of death…fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. Because He himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.” Hebrews 2:14-18
This is the God we serve; one who is capable and willing to assist us when necessary. I realize it isn’t God who removes himself from us. He desires to have an ongoing special relationship with each one of us. It is we who remove ourselves from Him and it can be due for a a variety of reasons.  
Nonetheless, we must make the effort to take time and spend it with him. We definitely become better for it!
