Where love is

"Where love is, there God is also..."

Because God can be everywhere at once, we as humans, assume for God to be present, He must be in our heart, but I still wonder as I always have. I even wrote a song a long time ago, "Does God never walk upon this earth that he created? Does he not, once in a while, walk upon the sea shore..." but, I also recall that to be in the prescence of God we must be transfigured, but we can have God a.k.a love in our hearts?

I wondered before if God ever peeks at twitter or has a facebook page. Well, "God is in his holy temples..." I always brlieved that literally. After all it was approved by the first presidency, so it is,true... hey, wait, Brigham Young's biggest fear was that we would start to rely on our leaders for truth too much, and believe a thing simply because they said it. I had a bishop give me cousel once, that I prayed about and did not get the same answer...it happens. As this situation unfolded, ends up he was released about a week or so later, and I think he Knew it all already, and subsequently has left the church. But, I still think a lot about how I believed whole-heartedly that if I went to the temple I would see God. There were not so many of them, and they were nearly the only place on earth He actually could dwell, well or mountains which seem synonymous with temples. I recall a testimony of Peggy Roach who also expressed a sinilar disappointment. But, this morning, I do not recall what lead me to think it, but I thought,"hmm, wonder if we would even recognize Jesus if he was with us." President Nelson gave a talk about how much love the apostles had for one another, it was nearly tangible...uh, what if it was tangible. Is a resurrected body so visibly different?
