I've been through ups and downs in my spiritual life. For much of my life, I felt like my relationship with God was pure discipline, not much "feeling" or experience involved. Sometimes, I've experienced his presence profoundly. I've felt him beckoning. I've had times of apathy and times of passion. I've yelled at him and sung to him.
Most recently, it seems like he's been mostly silent. But what I know without question is that he is present even in the silence. I'm never alone. I know I am beloved of him. His Spirit is in me without a doubt and I am growing in God all the time, learning to trust more, learning to recognize his voice more readily, learning to see his leading more clearly. I am confident that he is working in me, a good work, and he will be faithful to complete it in me.
Because I belong to God, I am Spirit-filled. What a gift.
