Frederick Buechner writes,
"There is no event so commonplace but that God is present within it,
always hiddenly, always leaving you room to recognize Him or not… because in
the last analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace."
How close has God come? So close that, as Thomas a Kempis put it,
"every creature will be to you a mirror of life and a book of holy
doctrine." So close that, in the words
of Jean Pierre de Caussade, "each moment is a revelation from God." So close that He can flow in the through your
life from one moment to the next like a river.
So close that your heart will be beating with life because Someone is
walking around in there. God is closer
than you think.
