You can have hundreds of acquaintances, dozens of friends, one spouse or best friend, but, no matter how loving, no matter how close or supportive they all may be, while they may show you the love of God, and the Spirit of God lives within them, they are not God.

And I am left alone.  But somehow not lonely.

Ultimately, at some point, for all of us, it comes down to just being…

.

.

.

alone….

.

.

with God.

We may fill our days with many to-do’s, even to-do’s that refer to God, talking about God, reading about God, advancing the Kingdom of God.  But too often those take the place of what our souls truly seek:  to be One with God.  To be with God.  That’s where I am called to be right now.  Come with me?
