It is with a heavy heart that sometimes I look out upon the world. Where is my God? Where is he? I am right here, he says. But why is he not more noticeable to the world? Why don't we see his works more readily, hear his voice more clearly, see his love more plainly? The arguments and excuses abound, yet in our minds the understanding is not enough. Our hearts long to know the true God, to see him fully, to know him more real. He is here, he is a part of us and our lives, he is God. He is the one who never leaves us, he is the one who never forsakes us. But in times of darkness and drought, when he seems to be missing, these words seem to be like echoes in an empty hall with only the dust to settle upon them. Where is our God when the emotions can't feel him, when the depths our our hearts seem full of sorrow, when the dancing and music has died and the depth of the night has come, where is he?

I am here, he says. In every moment of every day. Unseen and seen. Unknown, yet known. My words never go away - whether you feel them or not. The truth of them never fades. What I have once declared will always be, whether it was today, or years ago in history. The truth of my words carries you and gives you the breath you need. You live because of me. You have food and water because of me. Man cannot create these things, but only God above. Man has yet to replicate the basic necessities you need. Find me in these and know I still care. Find me in these and know I never change. I am with you. Then, look about you into the heavens and see the stars above. They were put there by a being greater than you. Man cannot replicate this feat - and never will. I have shown myself with power beyond what man will ever be able to do or to replicate. Know these things and then look at your heart and know that such a small thing is still in my hands as well. A treasure to you - it is precious to me as well, because it belongs to you. My love is not so great that it cannot be divyed into parcels just your size. Yet my love is so great that it will never end, never be phased, never will be taken from you. There is nothing in this world or beyond that can hold back and restrain my love for my people. I have given you all and yet I will give more. You will find me and know me as I reveal myself to you.
