Re: "that God may be everything..." to each one of us.
I have been blessed by all who responded with such love and compassion. Things are still very rough, but just knowing that someone is praying for me means so much. I am single and without a close family. There are times I feel so alone in the world.
Just for the record, I do believe in church and coming together to worship, studying the Word, and fellowship. However, I do not believe church alone can save us. I have met too many people who treat church almost like an idol; and on the outside, at least, appear to place their trust and righteousness in the church rather than the mercy and Grace of God.
We must do our best to refrain from judging each other. None of us can really know what is going on in another's life, nor can we truly know another's heart. Since my first injury five years ago I have been to many different churches, from Baptist to Pentecostal and have received much prayer, laying on of hands and anointing. I do not understand why I am in such bad shape now, I feel confused because my great love (and I feel my gift) was teaching. It has been so hard to give up teaching, but I am not needed in that capacity anymore. I feel quite useless and I long to work within the church and without too.
Once again, thank to you all for your prayers. May God bless each of you.
