Furthermore…

I remember a period in my life when I had gotten very far from the Lord.  Jesus, to me, had become a wispy, unreal non-person barely existing, mainly in some borderline region of peoples’ minds. Outside of any struggles with the perennial question Does God Exist, my sense of him was as a diaphanous, weak, vulnerable ectoplasm who could easily fall victim to just about any who-knows-what  stronger entities abroad in the world. He was, to me, at that time, the furthest thing from the  all-conquering Son of God, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords. He was a lot like me! My faith had become wispy, weak, diaphanous etc. Quoting lines in the song ‘Be My Life’s Companion’

Don’t let it happen to you,

Don’t let it happen to me.
