A Longing

I long to go into church and worship a God who gathers with us in the dark places and weeps with us; a God of hope who knows our struggle to have the strength to ask for our daily bread. It seems that, instead, we come back week after week to feel good about ourselves instead of allowing ourselves to be catapulted through our worship into a world that needs lovers, criers and ,yes, at times even fellow doubters. It seems that, in those places, God's presence has become so much more real for me than it has in a church. I must be in the minority though, as most seem content with the status quo.
