Are you talking traditional denomination or a direct relationship?I used to be a Christian.
I understand, I grew up "Christian", but fell away from the Bible as being the explanation for God.
Well heart posture counts too... but again, it comes down to whether or not you believed in your heart, and spoke to God from your heart (1 on 1). Because of my upbringing I could never quite shake the belief (in my heart) of the Heavenly Father, but I created my own ideas until I entered a dark period in my life and just shut my mind to even thinking about such things...In my 50ish or so years I have had no such revelation, even during the half or so I was a believer. Nor has any one I know closely had such a revelation, believers and non-believers alike.
But one day I cried out with a question to him (in my heart). And was filled in the spirit with a love I can't even describe.. I was so spiritually dead at this point I knew it wasn't from me. I was confused what was happening, and then I realised it was Jesus. (I'd never been taught the truth about the Son of God). But it was as if I always knew him and I wasn't afraid.
You would be surprised that for the creator of everything (seen and unseen) he would care about us, and our lives down here, but he cares so much, not about the things you would think either, but the little things. For example, how do you treat someone when you're having a rough time? Do you set you feelings aside with no complaints to help another? It's stuff like that that really counts to him.
I'm not trying to convince you with my story, but I hope one day you open your heart to seek him (Jesus) for yourself, because there is no one like him.
It's not arrogance, it's pride. He really does love you like no other can, for whatever reason we believe love like that isn't possible, but his love is not a human emotion.I lack the arrogance to think the creator of the Universe cares about me. I'm OK with that.
There's no such thing as wasted prayer.It's why I do science, but don't waste your prayer time on me.
