Any that says NO I have never been alone with God.. are deluding themselves.. Cause they have, they just don't know it.. When they/we are alone, God is still there.. ANYWAY...
When God seems far away, Who moved?..
Or better, thinks they have moved out of the range of God..
Adam and Eve covering their nakedness were STILL naked to God.. ANYWAY...
Now there's a subject, nakedness.. Being naked in spirit is even more naked than being physically naked.. being naked in spirit makes all thoughts and intents of the heart naked.. Physical nakedness is merely a social gesture, as clothing is..
All our social and intellectual clothing don't fool God for a microsecond.. First, we fool OURSELVES, Second, we fool others.. The human condition is a masquerade, being born again starts the process of removing the disguise(s)..
Its when we are alone with God, often, that we see how silly disguises are.. We first remove them with God then maybe with others.. The human condition is a masquerade on many levels.. A Costume Ball.. Cinderella eat yer heart out.. our Prince is a KING, THE King.. and not a prince at all.. and the wicked sisters, are our mind, emotion and will..
Maranatha Jesus.. whom will wash our feet before trying on the gospel shoes.. ugh pumps..
Your post reminded me of the time a lady remarked to me that she wouldn't like God "snooping" on her. I thought to myself, Jeepers, there is nothing in all of Creation He doesn't know about.
It occurs to me, hosepipe, that the only way God doesn't "know" a thing is if He chooses not to - as in when we lift Jesus up, the Father sees Jesus when He sees us - and willfully looks no further to see our litany of past sins.
