As I grow older clarity of meaning grows clearer. All of life, for all people, is a quest for God. If one refuses redemption it eventually becomes a hollow search for self meaning through attempts of self-realization. I have traveled that road briefly denying myself nothing I desired. Self realized is a difficult and offensive one to live with after even a few years. God in Christ, however, is as dear a companion as one could ever hope to have. I, like most, used to consider my relationship with God in Christ a religion. It was not until my late 20’s I began a slow understanding of relationship with God as a relationship between Him and me alone. It certainly has a small religious part; I regularly attend and work in and for a local church but that is more maintenance than relationship. The relationship with God that I have been given by Christ is more like God revealing infinitesimally small parts of Himself to me and me becoming staggard by His reality.
