QUOTE (His Glory is a Rainbow @ Jul 29 2008, 02:24 PM)

Fellowship with God is something one dare not cover, for it smothers to death. It is like a tender infant or a delicate little plant, for long nurturing is the price of having it, while it vanishes in a second of time, the moment indeed, one's eyes cease to be "single." One cannot worship God and mammon for the reason that God slips out and is gone as soon as we try to seat some other unworthy affection beside Him. The other idol stays and God vanishes. Not because God is a "jealous God" but because sincerity and insincerity are contradictions and cannot exist at the same time in the same time.
Hello :
Very interesting theme.
Just seemed so right to view what delicate is. I do not want to not have the delicate
walk with Him (IHVH), by not understanding the word.
