Something is Missing...

Well...somewhere is the ever expanding universe of the Internet, I seem to have lost the blog from yesterday. It was a good one too.

Don't you hate to lose things? When it comes to "stuff" - I do a pretty good job of keeping up with things. I used to never lend out books or a CD because I hated the feeling of wondering if I would get it back. Most of the time the item was returned. However, there have been a few items lost over the years.

What really gets me is when you are looking frantically for something only to find it in the first place you looked. You've done that...right? Circled the wagons, went back to the place you started and there it is...waiting on you. If you are a parent then I guarantee that you have been on this journey before:
"Did you look in your room?"
"Where was the last place you put it?"
"Are you sure that you looked in here?"
The seemingly random questions that are typically responded to with a "Yes...I looked everywhere!" Then you get involved with the search, go to the very place that you asked them about, and immediately the item is discovered.

The point is that we can spend a lot of time searching for things that are right under our noses. How many times have people with glasses searched frantically for the item that was placed right on top of their heads. There is a spiritual application here. How many people you know have been looking for themselves for several years now? Or...how many do you know that have tried to find answers in life but continue to come up empty? However, the truth is right in front of them. "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse."(Romans 1:20) God created the world in such a way that it speaks of His existence. Hear what the psalmist said: "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands." (Psalm 19:1)

The problem is that there have been many people searching, asking questions, and yet never come to the conclusion that there is a God and He cares for me. It's one of the greatest tragedies of human existence. I hope that's not you. I hope that you understand that we have a Creator who longs to have a relationship with His creation. To prove it - He sent His Son into the world. Don't miss this!!! Stop looking for something that is right in front of you. Jesus is the way to knowing the Father.
