If You Want to Know God …
For a long time as I worked to get to know God better, I felt as though I was making little progress. I tried to behave better. I tried to serve more. I read a lot of books. I prayed. I fasted. After all my work I found I didn’t know God any better than I did when I started. I knew God was there, but I couldn’t feel Him. I couldn’t sense Him.
