God is as close to you as your breath.

Acts 17:26-28

“…he fixed the ordered seasons and the boundaries of their regions, so that people might seek God, even perhaps grope for him and find him, though indeed he is not far from any one of us. For ‘In him we live and move and have our being.’”

The seasons remind us that the budding life of springflourishes in summer but wanes in autumn and then withers in winter.

How sad if that was the end.

But it’s not.

Life is revived again in the spring. God is Present throughout.

Sometimes God seems so far away. Other times, God’s Presence fills us as we experience a joyful smile…a beautiful sunset…a selfless act of kindness or a loving hug.

God is with us through each of our cycles of dying and rising. There is an emptying…and then a refilling and God is in the midst of it all.

In him we live and move and have our being.”

God is a mystery…way beyond the grasp of our minds. But within each of us is an intense longing to know our Creator.

Could that be because God has first longed for us and we are simply responding?

Be present to this inner longing.

Rest in the peace and quiet of each moment…where God yearns to be with you.

Set aside ten or twenty minutes today to simply be.
