Yep. I knocked. Nobody answered.

I am really surprised. I can think of a few possibilities. Either you didn't look in the right place, or you looked hoping not to find, or you intentionally looked in the wrong place, or you were looking for the wrong person to answer and didn't see who was at the door.

In the first place, G-d knocks. You don't knock. But you can seek. You may need a guide, but if you open your heart to His knock then He will guide you.

I don't know you so I can't know your experience. In my experience everyone who answers as you do intentionally knocked on the wrong door so they could claim it was G-d's fault. He really isn't that hard to find. After all, I found Him and I'm not at all special.

Shalom.

I was surprised when my girlfriend, who is now my fiance, told me the same thing. I couldn't understand why God wouldn't respond to her.

To make a long story short...(if you want details freemail me)God had something he wanted me to do, I didn't want to do it. Until I obeyed him nothing was happening with my GF spiritually.

When I finally obeyed (it had to do with my GF) something did happen.

She called me at work the day after I 'obeyed' and told me this: She said she was speaking outloud while cleaning. Saying basically 'God why do you speak to Chris (me) but don't answer me when I speak to You?' At this point God revealed Himself to her. Why didn't he do it the first, 2nd 3rd 4th time she asked? I have no idea.

Just thought i'd relate this to you.

Sorry about the hurried nature of the post. Time constraints.
