I can and do notice how many talk about how they perceive God and there perception is one of distance and vagueness as though God was some supernatural ambiguous thing and not a person. Thats what happens to distance relationships very vague in so that one starts to forget how the other person looks like and perceives or thinks or even looks like. Those who choose to forget God choose not to remember who and what He is. And that is a person first and foremost. That person should direct our lives for Father knows best. If that direction is not in your own life then you should reconsider who exactly God is. Those led of God are the chosen for everyone else reject Him and did their own thing. Rebellion is another word for the discretion. The rebellion is most predominate in religious circles, they do their own thing but under the banner of Gods name. And this I am purely speaking of from an individual stand point. 'Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?'Matthew 7:22 What were these fools prophesying in the Last Days? Was it not prophecy concerning the Last Days? From the same chapter: The Wise and Foolish Builders

24“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

28When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, 29because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law. Proverbs 27:6 New Living Translation (©2007)
Wounds from a sincere friend are better than many kisses from an enemy.
