It seems that the further I go in my life with God the more undeserving I see myself.  The more I study and pray and meditate and seek the things of God a part of me is gripped by how much more aware I am of my unworthiness.  There is a line of thought that would suggest that though none of us are worthy of the love of God, there are some who are much closer than others and that should be evident.  But honestly I don't think it works that way.  The people who know God the best are the ones who see themselves as the least worthy.  Those who have only a borrowed view of God have issues with whether or not they are getting a fair shake.

The whole idea of religion is built around the question of relationship with God.  You may have heard a thousand sermons in which someone basically made a mockery of the how and why of man relating to God.  But that still doesn't eliminate the basic issue of the possibility of it occurring.  There are people on television every day who connect your relationship with God to whether or not you send them some money.  There are those who paint God as some kind of dozing grandfather.  Some portray Him as the nitpicking judge.  Others portray Him as the great crutch invented to make us feel better about ourselves.  All of these false representations of God lead people into empty and pretend relationships with Him or to give up on Him altogether.  These do not however eliminate the real possibility of relationship with God and His desire to enter into relationship with His creatures.  The fact that God allows people to misrepresent Him doesn't make Him cease to exist.
