Juxtaposition

I just love this word. I wanna say it....a lot. It has several meanings, one is placing two things side by side, or the state of 2 things being close together. I like the meaning, too, mainly because it is something we humans all desire, closeness, to something, someone. I believe God put that innate longing in us, mainly for Him. Some of us spend a lifetime searching, and sometimes finding something or someone to be close to. Here's my question, can we be close to Him and the object we choose to yoke, all at the same time? Is the condition of the juxtaposition relative to our position? That just came right out of my head, whoa. Let me rephrase, is our relationship to our object relative to our closeness with Him? I think so. I am answering my own questions here. He wants us to be close to Him, yes, but He wants us to have good close relationships here on earth too, right? He is a jealous God, remember.........so how jealous. I think it was Paul who said that it would be better to be like him, meaning single I assume. I am sure, very sure this is a more dedicated way to live. I just couldn't. My instinctive desire to physically belong to someone is pretty strong. Yet, there are definite advantages to being single, spiritually speaking. The cares of life are completely altered once husbands and childen come along (singular on" husbands" for me!.) My prayer time now, honestly, is a sacrifice, when before, it came much easier. I am sure He understands, and hopefully takes in to account our responsibilites here on earth. After all, He allowed us these beautiful children, families, right?
