In my childhood I felt close to both my earthly Father and my heavenly Father. I felt loved by both of them. In my adolescence I wanted to please them both. In my teenage years I was angry with them both. In my young adulthood I ignored them both. Now I love them both, but don't necessarily want to spend time with either of them. But if I were to lose either one of them, I don't think I could go on living. I love my Dad more than any human, but I don't make an effort to spend time with him. I feel guilty around him. I'm afraid he will see right through me and he won't love me in the same way when I knows all the things I've done. Is that how I feel about God? I say I believe I'm forgiven, but have I really let it go? If not, why not? I'm tired of beating this dead horse.
