"Keep away,...I am to sacred for you!"

"Keep away; don't come near me, for I am to sacred for you!"

Well, when I am getting my tail stomped (Son had surgery, laptop dead, business related problems, family stress, extended family stress,...etc.) by the trials of life... that is the last thing I would think of telling God.
But the Good book says there are those who DO!...Oh-oh... They do the vampire thing. Hang around graveyards, keep secret vigils. Meetings.Pursue their own imaginations & thoughts.You know,crazy stuff. Not necessarily, black magic stuff.(Play"Black magic woman" by Santana here) But things that are not good for them.Even somewhat benign. But, empty. Empty in the eternal scheme of things. All along God has his hands held out.

"Keep away; don't come near me, for I am to sacred for you!"Isaiah 65:5

Got to see Bill Maher's movie, "Religulous ". I loved the self-deprecating humor. But didn't agree with his conclusions. His conclusions seem to take on aspects of needing faith to believe. I believe he has his own form of faith. Whether he believes it or not. It may be to strong to say,... but I believe he agrees with the above scripture.

"Keep away; don't come near me, for I am to sacred for you!" Isaiah 65:5

Did you ever tell that to God? In one form or another? Maybe not in those exact words, but in your mind? Or possibly in your heart? Do you find yourself agreeing with Bill Maher? But, deep in your heart you know there is more to this world that what you have experienced?

God accepts you for who you are! Warts, fangs and all.

Reach out and grab his hand.

He loves you and your chubby irritating friend- Derek : )
