I'm not so wise. As a matter of fact I'm kinda stupid. But I do kno ...[text shortened]... we recognize the void in our hearts, and quit denying it, then we can respond to Gods call.
so you say god found you, you didnt find him... so he failed you then? all those years you went looking and he never turned up... no doubt you'll say i wasnt ready, or i wasnt listening... or some rubbish like that... yes, it's always the person, never the god... maybe he did fail you, mybe he should have been there when you called out but wasnt... why is that your fault? why is everything in your religion turned round on yourself... why can you not judge god and his ways..?
