So, it is communion that defines our relationship with Abba?
Then, I must admit that there are times when He has missed me.
Oh, we say that Abba "is a perfect gentleman" and will not force
Himself upon us. That cannot be, I know He is missing me,
my person within the act of trust, when it dawns on me that I have
grieved His Holy Spirit. This realization should draw shame from
the believer to prompt a return to communion. There are also other methods,
on-going ones, like coaxing, reminding (gently, among other degrees), warning--and
simply lavishing His Presence upon us. Indeed, we miss Him because
He first misses us.
