God is as desperate for you as you are for God. It may even be possible to say that God is as incomplete without you as you are without God. So why is meeting up so difficult? Why can’t you find what you’re looking for if what you seek is seeking you?

Familiarity doesn't necessarily breed contempt for God, but it does breed contempt for the only place God can be found--here, now. Jesus says, the kingdom of God is within you--near as the beating of your heart, close as your next breath. The place where you meet God is so terribly ordinary that you'll be tempted to look elsewhere.

Finding God is a matter of waking up to the fact that you don't need to go anywhere to find God. The journey is within.

That doesn’t make it easy, but at least you know where to look, and you'll have taken the first step into your own spiritual awakening.
