The Light of the World
“The sun never goes away from the sky. It’s still there sharing the same sky with us; it’s simply that there is a chunk of opaque earth between us and the sun which prevents our seeing it. Everyone knows that, but I really see it now… ”
Why is it so hard to understand simple truths? Christ is always here, with us. So often I feel like I can’t find Him, that He’s so far away but He never moves. I can’t see Him as clearly as I’d like, but that’s just my earthly state obstructing my view. Christ remains steady and sure. Like the sun, Christ remains present.
“God is everywhere. There is no place God is not...You cry out to Him, ‘Where art Thou, my God?’ And He answers, “I am present, my child! I am always beside you.’ Both inside and outside, above and below, wherever you turn, everything shouts, ‘God!’ In Him we live and move. We breathe God, we eat God, we clothe ourselves with God. Everything praises and blesses God. All of creation shouts His praise. Everything animate and inanimate speaks wondrously and glorifies the Creator. Let every breath praise the Lord!”
