How different people sense God's
presence and experience spiritual growth

David Ziegel
In loving personal relationship conformity to another's
wishes is not desirable if it is purchase at the expense of
freedom and the destruction of one's unique personality.
God connecting with us is for the purpose of helping us develop
into an intelligent, cooperative relationship with God, as
beings who love each other freely.
