During the start of the Third Impact, an incredibly difficult thought-pattern that stuck in my mind was about hearing from God and the lack that I felt I experienced. Particularly the fear that I may not be able to separate it from my own thoughts; worse still, that others might not either. It would be a terrible accusation, would it not? To say to someone, “I think what you think is divine communication is simply what you want to hear.” I would never directly accuse someone of such, but I can’t help but feel (and sometimes mention) the doubt.
I have prayed a few times that a particular person would talk to me. In fact, a couple different people. There is a priest who comes into my coffee shop pretty often and I simply have asked a number of times that God would lead him to talk to me.
An Update
There is a lady at a table near me at my coffee shop who is talking nonstop about all of her evangelizing. She seems to use the What if you’re wrong and you die‽ tact which always makes me feel somewhat ill. On one hand, she seems to be someone who does not fall prey to The Flippancy of Hell, but on the other, it seems like a scare tactic. Regardless, it seems obvious that she’s very willing to speak with strangers that she feels called to. I have asked in my mind, that God lead her to talk to me. I’m sitting here for a while, so we shall see.
