Teresa,
I think…no…I KNOW God loves us all very much and he has a very personal relationship with each one of us. The problem is that we don’t always recognize that. Believe me, I spent many years with my eyes and heart closed and he kept his hand on me anyway.
But I disagree…while not all revelations are meant to be shared, not all are meant to be kept private. We are a community, and when I hear of an experience someone else had, it bolsters my faith and that person has just served as a messenger that God is working in our lives…every day.
Please don’t interpret that to mean that I think I’m a special messenger (not any more so than any other person here), but rather, I’m trying to say that by some of our experiences and witness, we build others up and help others to understand that our faith is a living faith.
I shared this experience with a friend of mine the day after it happened and she has shared some of her experiences with me. The more people I meet the more I’m seeing God at work in their lives and sending them similar messages. While I would not say these experiences are required for faith, they definitely serve God’s purpose in the time of transition we are in.
About the throwing things comment…I was really just being faceicious. (sp?)
And God bless you and much peace to you as well.
