As long as we have life — as long as we have breath — there is still hope that we can find the God who seeks us.  We commonly speak of life as a journey, but if the journey is not toward God, then where is it leading us?  If there is no movement, is it a journey at all?  Sadly, many choose neither to seek nor to find God.  Life becomes a question of how to “stay put” rather than to seek and find. Sometimes life is about making things better for “me”, rather than making things better for “you”.

 

Sometimes we may think we are on a spiritual journey, but unless we are willing to go beyond our own limited goals and expectations, we won’t find anything more than ego-gratification.   The more we desire safety and security, the less likely we are to find the God who calls us to abandon everything that is not God.

 

If we are indeed to “turn to the Lord,” then we have to re-focus  our attention.  God is the beginning and the end of all journeying.   Now is the moment for seeking and finding.
