I think i must make clear something in my previous post. When I said that repentance comes first and next everything else like going to the church, praying and reading the Bible I simply meant that you don't have to do something to get God's love. His love for you is always there, never stopped. I like what brother Spencer wrote. The young man never lost his indentity. He was always God's son no matter if he was far from home. God loves you. He only wishes to hear from You, "I am sorry my God, I've done it all wrong, I'm coming home" No need to do something more to make him accept you. But if reading the Bible or praying or going to the church makes you getting closer to him then keep doing them. And to be honest I think it is necessary to get your heart warmed by His Word. Also companionship with other christians. Secular people have the spirit of the world. They can not help you with your relationship with God. And praying will make you feel His presense. Blessings.

Thank you! It is helping me to continue praying, reading the Word as well as these posts. I am so very far from His Light, it seems like a distant dot, when it used to seem like an overwhelming searchlight!
