Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. (1 John 4:7-8)
Would you agree that God is love? Would you agree that whoever does not love does not know God? Think about this as you reflect and consider those people in your life that you love. What does it mean if you do not always feel love for them?
Meister Eckhart once said, “The best chance of finding God is to look in the place where we left him.” It is odd to think of losing God, but we humans often seem to be out of touch with our Creator—especially when we are not feeling loving. Whenever God seems far away from us, we are the ones who have moved. God is always available to us if we wish Him/Her to be.
As much as I like to think I stay focused on spiritual things, there are many times in any given day when I get caught up in busyness and forget to seek God. In a definite crisis, I generally am sure to think about God, but in the usual, day-to-day activities of life (where God is often most needed), I forget. Perhaps we all forget to practice the presence of God. If we happen to be feeling angry or resentful, we most likely have grown out of touch with God. We might then ask ourselves, “Where did I leave God?” And the answer is that we didn’t leave Him, we temporarily forgot that He is always with us. We have simply forgotten to be aware and that God is love.
