Me and God....does anyone ever feel like this life down here is just one big rollar coaster ride? God dumps glory on me, comforts me, places joy and peace around me and in me, and still some days I think "do you really need me down here?" what am I doing that is so worth while that I have to stay down here in this human state that is always lacking something. That is often painful to me.
I do alot for others, and really enjoy doing it, but I think Jesus could easily handle all of that Himself?

Maybe I am just more needy than some people, more comfortable with death, or have had a deeper experience with Glory and with pain so I feel the contrast??? I can't seem to be as comfortable down here as the other people around me...just wondering if anyone else ever has to deal with that :) Godbless!!!

I understand what you are saying. It seems like sometimes there is so much blah in your life you would just prefer to be with Him. But the thing is we have to endure somehardships for His Glory as a testimony to others. Something that says thru it all I still serve the One True God. I can still walk with Him even thu everything isnt peachy. This testimony serves as a witness to others about His Glory. Some of us have this burden of suffering trmendous hardships but that testimony is what encourages others. If you were gone, that one person who needed the encouragement may not receive what they need to be brought to Christ. Thats why its important for us all to follow Him at all times and not miss steps.

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Rom. 12:1-2

We are a sacrafice, our whole lives. Comfortableness, idealistic lifestyles, isn't always an option but thats what we are called to. And somehow, somwhere deep inside we have to find this acceptable and be happy in it. It's hard but its what is asked of us.

I had been feeling like that before....like God was with me sometimes not always. Things got better when I learned that my faith and hope in God should be based on His Word, not my feelings....His word says He will be with us till the end of age..Mathhew 28, and that nothing created can ever separate us friom His love, death can't , life can't, not even the devil or any otther principality..
That's a promise.... hold on to it...even when you are not feeling like it..hold on to it, :)
One more verse, my chat name and verse 14 (Psalm 27:13,14)
Love :)
