I was sad last night to read a post on another Methodist blog that set out to attack the idea that each one of us can have a personal relationship with God.I was tempted to get involved but don't really want the aggro.
My relationship with God through Jesus has had its ups and downs over the years but I'm well aware of a very personal love that takes me as I am. I'm also aware that God is constantly refining me.
I know that when I pray things do change - rarely in the way that I want but often in the way He wants.
It must be difficult to wear a dog collar, to preach each week, to counsel others, to study theology, to blog about faith, and yet have a great emptiness where that personal relationship should be.
All you have to do is to reach out. God's love is for sinners. If He accepted a terrible sinner like me me, I'm sure He'll accept you.
