Experience God's Presence in the Ordinariness of Life

Too often we miss experiencing God's presence in the ordinariness of life.

The person whispered, "God, speak to me,"
and the medowlark sang.
But, the person did not hear.

So the person yelled "God, speak to me,"
and the thunder rolled across the sky.
But, the person did not listen.

The person looked around and said, "God let me see you,"
and a star shined brightly.
But the person did not notice.

And, the person shouted, "God show me a miracle,"
and a life was born.
But, the person did not know.

So, the person cried out in despair, "Touch me God,
and let me know you are here."
Whereupon, God reached down and touched the person.
But, the person brushed the butterfly away and walked on.

Don't miss out on experiencing God's presence because it isn't packaged the way that you expect.
