God does not just feel gone. God is gone.The season of Advent reminds us that when we feel like we don’t have enough of God in our daily lives, like our connection with him is not all that it could be, we are not making it up. In one sense God is gone. At least gone enough that it is right for us to long for him to come again.The incarnation shows us that God is fully, deeply, more than we could have ever imagined, in our actual human experience. He knows us. He is with us. However, God is not yet with us in the way that he will be.Knowing how God will be with us in the future not only helps us make sense of our experience of feeling like God is gone today, but it also shows us what God loves and what he is inviting us to love as well.Read and reflect on Revelation 21:1-7. Given the choice, we would only spend our time and energy on restoring and moving into a place we love, to enjoy with those we love. Notice where God is and who God is with.Pastor David
