"It may seem odd to say, 'Let God find
you.' After all, God knows just where we are. But there is something
very respectful about a God who, as Jesus says in the Book of
Revelation, stands at the door and knocks. Even back in the Garden of
Eden, as sinful Adam and Eve hid, God walked through the garden and
called, 'Where are you?'"
"Yes, God waits until we let him find
us, until we open the door of our heart where he knocks, or until we
decide to come out of hiding.
"But God does knock. He sends us prophets and speaks through creation and His Word to establish a connection with us. He seeks a connection. . . ."
In a recent commentary, Monsignor Charles Pope (pastor of Holy Comforter-Saint Cyprian Parish,
Washington, DC) reflected on the importance of letting God find us, meeting us where we are.
