true words

I haven't the time or energy to write at the moment, but here's another voice.

"Is it not true that for most of us who call ourselves Christians there is no real experience? We have substituted theological ideas for an arresting encounter, we are full of religious notions, but our greatest weakness is that for our hearts there is no one there. Whatever else it embraces, true Christian experience must always include a genuine encounter with God. Without this, religion is but a shadow, a reflection of reality, a cheap copy of an original once enjoyed by someone else of whom we have heard." --A. W. Tozer

So true. Let me not settle for less than all of God--I want the live symphony, but so often I listen to a cheap music box.
