Believing that the all powerful ruler of the universe was my special buddy, that he took a positive interest in my life, that there was a plan for it which was ultimately positive, so that even in the bad bits there was a point to it all. To be able to pray about something and feel better afterwards. The sense of community and belonging. The lack of need to answer the big questions because there was already an answer.
It was a nice thing. Look at it this way. If I told you that on your next birthday, you'd get a massage with a happy ending from jennifer lawrence / Gerrard butler (delete to personal preerence) and you had reason to believe me, and were ABLE to believe me, you'd be happy about that! It would be "good news" You'd look forward with a sense of optimism, and it might even help you get through your week. The fact that in the end you wouldn't would be relevant until the day. Whereas if the truth is that your birthday would be a date with dame palm and her five lovely daughters, thats not so nice a thing to contemplate.
