: But how? Steve please tell me how you keep 'the fire', How do you stay in love with God? How do you keep believing in a God that no longer hears me? I thought I loved God, but evidently I don't. You have to be able to love yourself (what you can see) first, don't you? How do I climb out? How do I find out what's wrong and why I feel the way I do...all the time. When is it simply just time to give up?
:
Let's get together and I will gladly babble on for hours about everything you just mentioned. (And you KNOW I will.) You are not as far away as you think. You DON'T have to be able to love yourself first to love God. Yeah, I know you hear that kind of teaching, but I've never believed it. I think God was the most real to me when I believed it the least.
Let's spend some time talking again soon. How about later this week?
(My fingers could not possibly bear the strain of having this whole conversation in an email.)
I love you and I'm praying for you.
