perhaps the op is having trouble with the concept that 'god touches your heart' he clearly feels he has not been touched.....sounds to me...like he is doubting his salvation more than anything...is this not what is called a crisis of faith? i have seen this before where someone is told...pray harder...she prayed all her waking hours...on her knees...and never got the answer she was seeking...does this mean her prayers were wrong or she was not worthy.....i dont think so....but i saw the conflict in the wanting of this peace that salvation was to bring and not having it...perhaps one can expect too much of a god...
i hope you find the peace you are searching for....
I don't think you can ask too much from God, but you can ask the wrong question or not like the answer. Sometimes, the answer comes, but you ignore it. When I had just become a teenager, I stole jewelry and makeup from a store. I didn't feel guilty about it at all.
It bothered me so much that I didn't feel guilty, that it plagued me for weeks. So, I prayed about it and asked God why I didn't have a conscience? Am I that bad?I asked Him. I was reading a book one day, when oput of the blue, came the answer.
I do have a conscience or I wouldn't have prayed and cried about not having one! He has never failed to answer my prayers but once.
And after years of wondering why, I found out the answer. What an awesome God HE is! And for those who wonder, he still does miracles everyday. You just have to pray and ask for help.
So, Mashburn, begin your relationship with Him. Talk to God. He's waiting to hear from you!
