This fall, I decided to leave my church for reasons I'm not going to be blogging about... hey I'm almost an open book. Anyway, since that time, I've been trying out churches with nothing seeming to be the right fit yet. As a result, I haven't had strong Christian fellowship. And without the Christian fellowship... I've felt far from God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This evening, on my way home from work, I flipped over to some Christian radio and a song came on. I can't remember the name... and I can't find it on ITunes... but it posed the question, If I did all the right thing, would He love me more? It summed up by saying "I belong to you, far from the things I do."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was something I "knew", but forgot. It doesn't matter whether I feel close to God. It only matters that, through Christ, I am near to Him.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5739048669089600488-7327075755190182542?l=surpassingvalue.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5739048669089600488/posts/default/7327075755190182542'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5739048669089600488/posts/default/7327075755190182542'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://surpassingvalue.blogspot.com/2008/12/would-he-love-me-more.html' title='Would He Love Me More?'/><author><name>Jennifer Gumbel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10481984664826128651</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rUpTz-w9HpM/TSOaOaS2sBI/AAAAAAAAABw/i7Z3xS_Nzw4/S220/JGumbel%2B-%2BProfessional%2B%2528lawyerist%2529.jpg'/></author></entry></feed>
