<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr>[color:"blue"]Why do we, and how can we, feel alone and isolated while it is certain that we are not? </font><hr></blockquote><p><br><br>How can we be afraid when He is with us and mighty to save? How can we be tempted when we have been born of incorruptable seed?<br><br>For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please. (Galatians 5:17)<br><br>We are not yet perfect. Our desires and priorities on earth are not always as they ought to be. We do not always value Him most. And so our flesh deceives us, for it does not desire the things of the Spirit and it is not satisfied with them.<br><br>I also agree that we do not yet have the full fellowship with God for which we are made.
