Hi, Mantishand Welcome to Christian Forums, and thank you so much for sharing your personal experience; God bless you
I just experienced a love that I never want to leave.
amen; thank You, God.

I have not heard his voice again. I desperately want to but I can't. I think he knows I don't need to hear it to have faith now.
His voice is His love and how His peace shares with us and takes care of us and guides us. His words may come in this voice, but He can do plenty without saying a word. It is possible that He uses your thoughts to communicate with you . . . when these thoughts are helping and blessing you in His peace.

And I understand that God is quiet; so by being deeply and pleasantly quiet we can communicate and share with Him, with words and deeper than words.

"rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God." (1 Peter 3:4)

There was a while when I was messed up and confused and frustrated that I kept losing my faith or so-called faith. Then I read about how it is good to have a "meek and quiet spirit", and I pondered how I was not being meek and quiet inside myself, but I was troubled. So, I thought, I sure could use a meek and quiet spirit. But 1 Peter 3:4 is written to wives. Well, if a meek and quiet spirit is very pleasing to God, I figured that He would want me, too, to have a meek and quiet spirit.

And so, then, I got encouraged that possibly God was communicating this to me.

But I have needed a lot of correction, to get me to be deeply quiet and submissive to God in His peace. It has been maybe forty years since then, and I still have issues. But the correction includes encouragement.

This thread spoke to me and I posted a similar one if you want to see it. Anyway I get worried about my salvation to. I feel that my blasphemous thoughts have pushed me away from God and I'm paranoid that I'm now separated from him. I am in self-doubt. I cant enjoy life and feel that I cant repent or redeem myself. I want God to be there for me but I believe I pushed myself away.
