Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Finding God
If God seems far away, who moved? — Anonymous
We traveled near and far to find a relationship with God. We spent hours looking for God in nature or the stars. We listened to many enlightened speakers to obtain a glimpse of God’s presence. The harder we tried to find God, the further removed God was from our lives. We lived our lives as if we had lost God. We thought that if we searched hard enough, we could find Him.
The new world we have found in recovery shows us what has always been there. While we were searching, we were never living with what we had. God will never be nearer to us than He is right now. Our responsibility in life is to keep our conscious contact with our Higher Power free and open. When God seems far away, that contact needs to be renewed.
When I meditate, pray, and keep my inventory current, God always is with me because I am with God. I no longer need to search for something that can’t be lost.
