Wow! Sharon thanks for sharing that little piece of your heart.
You are so right, it is not about emotions or exhuberant demonstrations. It is all about God, and how we spend time with Him. It is all about where our heart and desires rest.
How can we truly "see" or "know" God if the only time we spend with Him is at church? We must choose daily to spend time with Him in prayer, praise and worship so He can fill our tanks.
may the Light of Jesus Christ shine in my life,
Ev
