I was feeling very intimate with God one day, and someone came up to me and said, "I feel so intimate with God in my prayer life." Well! I did not let on but in my heart I said, "Phooey to that!" I want singular intimacy. Is not that the nature of intimacy? I don't want to be part of a herd of intimates. If I am in love with a person, I don't want to know they love me and everyone else in their life equally. My problem is that I cannot share, because my god is not big enough. Thus, I worship and love a small idol. Pathetic? OK. But what to do? Laugh at myself. Then be honest with God rather than put God on my resentment list. I have a big ego and am selfish with love. Actually, a miser. Then let God take over. Turn it over to God. I was never good at fixing myself.
