H Rod. Back button destroyed my comment twice, but never mind...

I guess it must be realy amazing to have that sort of intimacy with God. I've never really experienced that, though I'm sure that I've known times where I've felt something of the Spirit, a sense of joy I don't always get (being somewhat worrisome by nature). I seem to have let a lot of other stuff fill my life, other thoughts and obsessions and have, I'm sad to say, comitted some blatant and delibreate sins. But I feel, or am aware of in my mind, the need to repent and get back to God, and have some hope, that I can. Perhaps it's a matter in my case of setting my mind on the things of the Spirit, and not trying to please the flesh, I don't know.

I don't suppose our cases are entirely similar, but thanks for those thoughts. I will pray for you also, most definitely. Wish I could help further but being somewhat immature spiritually, I'm not sure of it all myself. I've wondered myself, is it possible, after having sinned, to get back to God in any meaningful way? When is it too late? I'm hoping it isn't in any of our cases. (To Michael: I recall you saying it wasn't last time I posted, and I'm sure that was true. Seems I've been drifting again though, but I'm hoping the Lord will sort me out.)

Hope I'm not saying anything wrong here...or too much... sorry iff I am.
