An unnamed blogger & myself (Sorry for detracting from the message)

A good man fervently prayed,

"O, God, please let me hear your voice!"

But the thunder pealed

And he couldn't hear.

"O, God, please reveal yourself to me."

A daisy dropped a petal near his foot

But looking at the sky he didn't see it.

"O, God, please let me feel your grace."

As he brushed away a butterfly that landed on his hand.

God has a still small voice...with the Grace that He gives, one of the greatest revelations one sees as he/she turns towards God, is to find out that He has been there the whole time. All of creation reveals that our maker and master has great love for us. If we are quiet, with open eyes, ears and especially an open heart, we start to see God everywhere and in everything he designed that lives...

Love the photo.

"Jesus said, "If your leaders say to you, 'Look, the (Father's) Kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the (Father's) Kingdom is inside you, and outside you. When you know yourselves, then you will be known, and you will understand that you are Sons of the living Father. But if you do not know yourselves, then you live in poverty, and you are that poverty."

[...]

His disciples said to him, "When will the (Father's) Kingdom come?"

"It will not come by watching for it. It will not be said, 'Look, here!' or 'Look, there!' 'Rather, the Father's Kingdoml rule is spread out upon the earth and people don't see it." (Gospel of Thomas)
