Thinking day...

Its none of my business. I don't know whether either of them are telling the truth so I cannot make any judgements about them. I don't even feel like praying for them. I want to be selfish... But I cannot. Gotta go read my 21 powerful minutes now.

The verses below are some strong stuff. In short, the gap is caused by us walking away from Him... Not by Him turning away from us.

::: Verses of the Day :::
CAUSE
Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear.
But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.
For your hands are stained with blood, your fingers with guilt. Your lips have spoken lies, and your tongue mutters wicked things.

EFFECT
So justice is far from us, and righteousness does not reach us. We look for light, but all is darkness; for brightness, but we walk in deep shadows.
Like the blind we grope along the wall, feeling our way like men without eyes. At midday we stumble as if it were twilight; among the strong, we are like the dead.
| Isaiah 59:1-3 & 9-10 |
