Is God far off?

Where would you go to look for God? Lift your head looking to the heavens? Take a trip to the Himalayas? Sat in a comtempletive position with candles burning around you? Go to sleep and wish God might just pay you a visit in your deams?

For me, I look for God in my heart.

In my troubled times, I pray.

In my happy times, I rejoice.

In my quiet times, I read the Scriptures.

In my spare time, I write stories about Him.

God is as real to me as breathing and living. Because He has never stopped loving me, I can’t help but respond with giving all of me to Him.

I don’t have to go anywhere to look for God. In fact, it is God who comes to me with open arms. He shows me the lovely blue skies every morning and the captivating sunsets at every dusk. There is never a day that was the same as the day before. Everyday is a new day and unique in its most special and unspeakable way! The beauty of God’s majestic handiwork of nature takes my breathe away!

God did it all for you and me.

Yes, this is the answer. Simple, direct and truth. God’s arms are open to you. You never have to go too far to seek God. God is just standing right there (a stone throw away), waiting, for your response.

How did God speak to you today?

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the sky displays his handiwork.”

– Psalm 19:1, NET

Abba Father, thank You that You are never far away from us. We do not need to search the ends of the earth to find You, for You are nearer than we think, waiting with open arms and a heart full of love. Open our eyes to see You in the beauty of Your creation, in the quiet moments of our day, and in the pages of Your Word. Teach us to recognize Your voice, respond to Your calling, and draw near to You with trusting hearts. May we never take Your presence for granted, but grow deeper in our love for You as we walk with You each day. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
