This is for those of you who long for a closer relationship with God, but never seem to grow any closer.
It's a choice. This took me forever to figure out. For the past year and a half I've been trying to grow closer to God, but never seemed to go anywhere. Then I realized during a youth group service that I choosen to hold back. I was scared of what God might ask me to do. I kept telling God I wasn't ready, and he respected my choice.
That night at youth group I decided I would jump in head first. Don't get me wrong though, I was still scared of what God might do, but I realized the benefits/experience far out weighed anything that could be thrown at me. Plus we're supposed to fear God.
As this summer has progressed I have seen myself grow like never before in my relationship with him, and my relationships with other people. I can't believe I just said that though because he just had me cut off two of my friendships for the time being. It's not always easy, as I 've learned in the last few days, infact I've had some my most difficult times during this experience, but along with that I feel God walking right alongside me.
Anyways, I encourage you if you are willing to simply ask God to bring you to the next level in your relationship with him. If you are willing he will bring you to a place you have never been, and it WILL blow your mind away.

Although I do not believe in any superior being I find the poise you hold your religion at is most admirable. You have a way of discussing your beliefs without forcing them on others. Its refreshing to see such strong beliefs without them being.. Overpowering per say.
