Finding or Being Found?

I’m not sure anyone finds God. It’s more like what I saw happen in a large grocery store in Texas.

There was an announcement over the store’s intercom system. It was a woman; somebody’s mother. Hearing her voice was shocking because it was so real and vulnerable; unlike somebody calling for a price check.

She said, “Jenny, this is mommy. I know you are lost and scared. I know you are looking for me.

“Jenny, just sit down where you are. You can stop looking for me. Wherever you are, just sit down Jenny girl and I will find you.”

Finding, or being found?

“It’s not that you haven’t done enough. It’s that you’ve done too much” (Martin Luther).
