Gospel Reflections #243: God Does Not Move Away, We Do

Isaiah 55:6 "Ask of the Lord, when you can find him; call to him, while he is near. Call upon Him, while He is near."

When Jesus created us, He prepared everything we need before He created us.

Jesus also completed the remission of our sins on the cross before giving us the choice to believe in it or not.

God is so eager to get us back and live with us no matter what that takes that He completes all the preparations for us to believe in Him before He speaks to us.

God is always with us and speaks to us.

He never disappears from our side or leaves us far away. The only thing that happens is that we move away.

God is right beside us, even when we don't ask or call out to Him. All we can do is notice God's presence and accept Him.

When we become aware of God, we will be amazed at how close He is.

And as we experience God's presence with us, we will be filled with peace, joy, and hope in Him. And those around you will surely notice you and experience peace with you.

God waits for us in a way that is infinitely humble and without giving up. It may be a time-consuming way, but it is a sure and penetrating way, the way only God can do.
