read between the lines
the same questions this is the meaty part of a long email i've just sent out, 'cos i'm too lazy to type about the whole thing."i realise that every time i meet up with a close friend it's just a quick fix until the next friend comes along to cheer me up, and somehow i can't seem to find a permanent fix in god. he said maybe i should try spending time with god not to get my fix but to hear him out as a person. i said i realised that but was unable to get past the "isn't god supposed to provide for my needs" part... ...further thinking leads me back to a question i've asked before countless times. so what do i do now, as in am i not supposed to confide in anybody cos it's just me looking for a quick fix to this loneliness and joylessness, but if i am then what about the argument that every human needs to socialise and fellowship? and supposing i don't confide in people any longer, just theoretically speaking, how do i go about being relieved of my loneliness and joylessness by confiding in god? why is it that spending time with god has never been as good as spending time with a close friend? what am i missing that is not allowing me to feel that way, that joyful, not-lonely way?" okay, so that was more than one question. but i am interested to know the answers. except that the answers i'm receiving are still somewhat vague, abstract and hazy to me. or they seem incomplete somehow. |
