"Once you let go of a time frame and an expectation, and are willing to give you life to this pursuit if nessary, at that moment or short there after God will show up."
You see I think this is where my issue lies. When I was asking and seeking and knocking, I didn't have the luxury of time. I needed either some god to show up and save me, or for myself to give up on the idea of a god and save myself. If your god exists, he was too late. I was pregnant with 2 young children, giving up my life to keep knocking for a god who was clearly not answering would have been completely selfish parenting. These days I am safe, my kids are safe and happy, my life is okay, and I'm recovering as much as I can from the scars religion left me with. So, I guess, I really have no use for a god now that I don't believe in one. It's kind of funny how that works eh? If your god reveals himself to me and has a valid excuse for the shitty job he's been doing then I'll think about re-converting...maybe.
I do appreciate your answer, but you just told me that if I pray and am willing to devote my life to seeking and knocking for a god I don't believe in, then my metaphorical heart will recognize the voice of his call. Lolwut?
So there's no amount of ask/seek/knocking will ever provide any real evidence for a god. Just what I thought.
Oh btw the like/link thing, I was asking because my auto correct refuses to accept the word gave. It just changes it to have every time a constant struggle with that.
