Idols Con't

A continuation of the topic of idolatry, I think I've found out a way to test whether something is an idol. The power of loss is a very terrible thing.

If tomorrow comes and something ceases to exist in the world, how would we cope with it? Would our life somehow lost its meaning, even in part? Would we shed tears over it? Would it feel like we have become a little more empty?

I am sure if video games or anime completely disappeared tomorrow, I would be fine with it.
If the entire female side of humanity were to cease existing, I wouldn't worry about it.
If we no longer need to eat food to live, I think I can live with that.
If music or theology books stopped existing, my worship of the Lord would still be there.
If I lost all my friends and family died tomorrow, it would shake me down to the core, but it won't break me, for my strength will be in the Lord.

But if God stopped existing tomorrow, I wonder how would I feel? Would life lose all its meaning? Would I break down completely into sorrow and despair? Or would I be just dandy?

"What does it mean to go to the Cross to die to the self life? When you are forgotten, or neglected, or purposely set at naught, and you don't sting and hurt with the insult or the oversight, but your heart is happy, being counted worthy to suffer for Christ, that is dying to self. When your good is evil spoken of, when your wishes are crossed, your advice disregarded, your opinion ridiculed, and you refuse to let anger rise in your heart, or even defend yourself, but take it all in patient loving silence, that is dying to self. When you are content with any food, any offering, any raiment, any climate, any society, any solitude, any interruption by the will of God, that is dying to self. When you never care to refer to yourself in conversation, or to record your own good works, or itch after commendation, when you can truly love to be unknown, that is dying to self. When you can see your brother prosper and have his needs met, and can honestly rejoice with him in spirit and feel no envy or question God, while your own needs are far greater and in desperate circumstances, that is dying to self. When you can receive correction and reproof from one of less stature than yourself and can humbly submit inwardly as well as outwardly, finding no rebellion or resentment rising up within your heart, that is dying to self. Are you dead yet? In these last days, the Spirit would bring us to the cross 'hat I may know Him...being made conformable to His death.'" (Unknown, but most likely Watchman Nee)
