I agree with what you are saying Peach and Tom, and the word of God does speak the truth of who we are and what we are required to do. After much meditation over the last 30 yrs , the word being alive introduces you to the Person who speaks that word. And His description of who He is as the 2nd person of the Trinity is an image of the God head. So that the effect of meeting Him through His revelation to us is like looking into a glass dimly at Him. So that by His Spirit in our being introduced we are actually become more acquainted with that Person. Its like when we meet a stranger for the first time, and then we begin to spend time with them, so that we become acquaintances. And we begin to silently feel their insides as we go together in life. We know so much about them that we know how they are going to react to certain situations. Just like being married we know the weaknesses and strengths of our wives and we know their likes and dislikes. We know when they are struggling and when they are full of confidence. We know their fears, their most inner secrets, and we know what makes them tick. Well as we learn to talk to God , in a mature way, as His word teaches us we learn to acquaint ourselves with His disposition and those prayers that are pleasing to Him. Even tho we do not see Him we know Him as if we see Him. When we talk to Him in His will, He begins to meet with us. He begins to assure us through His revelation that He is a person who dwells in us and by His Spirit He is our constant companion. He becomes our most cherished friend. Thats what He calls us, and it is an inward call. So we know that when we talk to Him, we are going to sense absolute peace, because He comes as that image to us that we are familiar with through His revelation. We know Him to be all that we need in this life. Its not like we are waiting to see Him, but we are able to see Him through the dark glass. It is enough for us to have a complete assurance when we recognize Him.
