Women and men in the church are not supposed to have an emotional investment or desire to understand things that aren't currently revealed. Before we give ourselves permission to feel strongly about wanting to know greater revealed truth, we have to first admit that its okay to have a desire for it. And in the church today, there is not an effort to gain more understanding that what is taught. Those who are making efforts to do so can get pretty frustrated and disillusioned. In a way, not having strong emotions is a way to protect one from becoming frustrated or hurt. Its a difficult situation to try to cope with.Jennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09693855868835555292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9085826525086205605.post-31024905823115028002010-11-04T10:14:49.610-07:002010-11-04T10:14:49.610-07:00Thank you for sharing that story.

And in struggling and searching for peace on the matter, this is comforting. <br /><br />I'm not at the point of seeking Her personally yet. I think I'm too afraid of not finding Her, or just not getting the response I need. I guess I figure I need to reconcile with HF first so as to avoid the whole "going to one parent because you didn't get the response you wanted from the first" problem. I know I don't like it when my own children do that, and I don't want to fall into having a relationship with only one side as I do with my earthly parents. I'm still very much in limbo on the topic, but thank you for adding a more emotional dimension to it for me.cchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08900004354337917385noreply@blogger.com
