"So then, my beloved, obedient as you have always been, not only when I am present but all the more now when I am absent, work out your salvation with fear and trembling." Philippians 2:12
Is God ever absent in your life, interesting question isn't. The Apostles experienced this absence first hand and we as disciples go thru periods when it feels like absence. Obedience is the key word, during those periods of dryness we must continue to do those things that develops relationship with God. Like the ten virgins waiting on the Master, not knowing His return, you do not want to let your lamp run out of oil. To answer the question, He is never far from us, He I believe is testing our resolve if it is truly Him we desire or only the graces. A little more to think about.
Dear Father God, I know You are never far from me even in those times it feels like a great distance. I thank You for the resolve to persevere and continue to work out my salvation for it is never guaranteed, You guarantee it but I have a major role to play. Prayers for a young man trying to find his way in life, may He be guided by You Lord and begin to see You everywhere. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Mother of Love, pray for us.
