How you can develop your personal experience with God

Well-organized theory is one thing, your own personal experience is another.

You could develop your theology to explain about things in order to bring certain conclusion. That theology might look pretty much make sense.
Somebody else could develop his theology to bring totally opposite conclusion. That theology might look pretty much make sense, too.

Therefore, more than worrying about some explanation, you need your own personal experience about things, particularly your own personal experience with God.

Here's how you can have your own personal experience with God:

You need to practice giving yourself to larger others, as genuinely as possible. Through this practice, you may develop your own personal experience with God. Why?

You could develop your own theology for this :-) but my belief is: God is the one who totally gave himself, therefore, unless I do the same, in other words, without common base, it would be difficult to have meaningful experience with him.

And without this, I believe your experience with God will rely on miracle or some superhuman intervention only.

I believe those things are also important, but you shouldn't just rely on them, but you need to initiate to have your personal experience by giving yourself first.

Needless to say, though, there is no "guarantee"...
