    Responce to What If

    There are times when G-d appears to be silent because either we aren't listening,or because G-d, out of his love for us, is testing our heart. I've experienced this and so did King David, as well as many others. I will pray that G-d will allow you break through and sense his presence once again. G-d really is our Abba and his greatest desire is to have communion with his children.

    This came at me with such an impact. So beautifully expressed and meaningful. It's cold outside but warm in my heart after hearing Lori's message. Todah Rabbah
