Nicht Alleine?
I have really been struggling with not having a male figure in my life. Some days, you just want to be able to go home and get a hug, whether it be from a boyfriend or dad. I know we are to desire intimacy because it reflects how our relationship with God should be. But not even having a dad that I can run to in my time of need makes things so much more complicated. It's so easy to say that at those times I should go to God, but it seems so much easier for those people because they have someone to go to in real life as well. There is just something about a male presence in your life that helps make you feel like everything is okay - restores security.But I've also been thinking, if I feel like this for lacking intimacy in this world, then how much more should I feel for separation from God, and MUCH more how Jesus felt!! It kind of makes my longings insignificant and misplaced. Luckily, I've been so incredibly blessed with a great church family that is there for me when I need them. Someday, I won't have to worry about any of this - and man, is that great to think of!
