I believe God is near to each of us. Nearer than we can imagine. I believe that he speaks to us, but we must be open to hear him. Sometimes when life is difficult, I wonder where God is... before asking myself his whereabouts, I felt he was absent, but then in that moment of asking, I sense his presence. It's not that God went away... I did. It's like standing in the shade on a cool day and saying it's cold, only to step out into the sun and feel warm again. If you want to experience God, step out of the shadows.
