If God seems far away, who moved? I have known firsthand and am familiar with the peace God provides when you have fellowship with him. Yet, this peace often seems distant and I find that I must return to God in order to again be at peace. But why did I leave him again in the first place? I want to never need to return to God, I want to simply be with God. This is my thought process as I lay me down seeking again to return. I think my problem could be that I expect God to come with me wherever I go rather than being determined to follow him wherever he leads me. I dont ever notice the departure took place until after its done and this is bothering the crop out of me. In fact, thats why I am posting this. I hope to hear from other spiritually minded Christians what they think. Is complete unity with god something that can be attained before the carnal death? I think it is, but that would be kind of like a escalatogic spiritual transcendence which i believe is possible with God and is something that I would like to achieve. Or on the other hand, should I just be thankful to know the Way, the Truth, and the Life and accept the belief that I will never be perfect by any means in this lifetime and just trust him for the afterlife. I dont know what to think but I know what I do think and that I want to hear your thoughts if you have any input- You know where the comments go and you can message me privately if youd prefer. To me it seems obvious that its possible to transcend the cycle of departing and returning since it is myself that moves myself away from God. But I never decide to leave him so maybe he just lets me go sometimes if I forget to ask him to come with me as I leave. Regardless of how it happens , I know hes always there to sit with me and help me guide my thoughts when I finally do return. But I dont know that he will do more than help me acknowledge truth and recognize delusion. In other words I doubt he would stop me from departing by overriding my free will(even though Ive asked him to do that before and think he has iintervened in situations, but not by an override of the will) but I do think he will help me identify that step I shouldnt take by granting wisdom and discernment. I just want to overcome crap more easily than I have been, I dont want to stumble anymore. Is that too much to ask?
