HOW CLOSE HAS GOD COME?

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.

-- John Ortberg in God Is Closer Than You Think
