It is a personal relationship for each of us and He is jealous to keep that private and personal with us..Instead we have been taught that God is only found outside ourselves in other people and other things...we have been cut off in that attempt of humans trying to "teach peace" and show the "way"
And still taught that we need to go to some to "get" that!!!
But we don't. God is real and big enough to meet us each in whatever desert we find our buns parked in!!! HE comes to us!!!
