Here is a prophecy I gave to someone today. While it was meant specifically for them, I believe it's truths also apply to so many of us.
" Would you like visions of things you know not? Dreams of things you never have beheld? They lie in the eyes of God, and they are waiting for you. He leaves an open door for you to come and pursue them if you desire to. Just as Isaiah saw heavenly things and God cleaned his lips after he entered in (Isaiah 6:1-6), so also God isn't requiring you to be perfect to be able to experience these things. You are his child, and children are given new experiences even as they are growing- indeed, many times it is the new experiences that cause a child to grow; and experiencing a greater amount of his love is always a positive experience that draws people into growth.
God loves you with an everlasting love. From the first page of the Bible, to the last, God wrote his love story within the lines. He had you in mind when he was writing the Bible; he knew that you would be reading it one day. He took joy in the fact that you would be able to know him better because it existed, and part of the reason it has become has numerous in quantity and magnified through technology as it has become is because God wanted to be able to bless you all the more, in a way that would touch you personally. And you might think "My God doesn't care about me that much;" but he does. He who formed you in the womb, who has a count of all the hairs on your head, who guards you as you surf the internet- he didn't think it was too much to make the bible more available/impactful for one of his children. He formed the entire universe, the vast majority of which is still unexplored; he sees how the cells in each strand of your hair are organized and can command any of them individually- He is big enough that this is a small thing for him. And can you only imagine the things we consider "big things" that he could do for us that he doesn't consider big at all. He's already stopped the world once before, and that simply at the request of one man (Joshua, Joshua 10:12-14)- and it only takes one other man to make a request that God may honor it. I feel that God wants you to get to a point where you dare to ask unbelievable things of God- look what happened when Moses did (Exodus 33:18-23). And doesn't the Bible say that God is no respecter of persons (Romans 2:11)? Aren't you his child just like Moses and Joshua? Don't children sometimes ask incredibly unbelievable requests from their parents? And while many earthly parents may want to make their child's request come true, often they don't have the resources to make it happen. But God has no such limit- and he wants to make incredibly awesome things happen for his children.
"11If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!" Matthew 7:11
Big Daddy God- I bet he could give some incredible birthday presents.
And this situation is like how though many never see God- they know he is still there. And how they may not always "feel" God, and yet sometimes they feel him quite strongly. Just because people haven't seen big gifts given out to everyone, it doesn't mean that God doesn't want to. A lot of parents try to get that "one big gift" to their kids for their special occasions- and God loves us even more. Do we have the boldness enough to pursue God in an area like this and ask him to make real how strongly he really does love us? Are we satisfied with the gentle breeze, instead of pursuing the fun of the windstorm? Are we satisfied with hearing one instrument, when God has a symphony waiting? And are we satisfied with a bar of chocolate, when God has the entire variety of a vast candy store that we could try out? God wants his children to dream like he does- and he wants to see dreams fulfilled on the earth that are God-sized dreams- children of God sized dreams. Dare to dream."
