He Is.

So, I was just writing some responses to a worsheet for one my classes when I realized something....

In the Geiblestudy last week someone brought up the whole concept of "The Dark Night of the Soul." Anyways, I knew that I had heard some stuff about it before, and it was kind of a side-track from the holistic idea of the biblestudy, so I didn't think too much into it until it resurfaced today. The whole idea of the dark night of the soul is that we tend to rely on “feelings” in order to witness God within us even though we know that we constantly have the fullness of God within us. So, this “Dark Night of the Soul” is not God withdrawing himself from within us, but rather, it is God withdrawing the emotions from us so that we can rely more fully on Him and give Him our entire selves. Anyways, I was more hung up on the idea of knowing that God is there even when we don't "feel" that He's there. And I really began applying this to my life right now. Sometimes I don't "feel" like God is there on Sundays when the team is leading worship...but then it occured to me...I have the fullness of God within me, so even when I don't think like He's there, He is. When I don't think He's leading through me, He is. And when I don't think the students get it, He's still there.
