There are some things in life that are obvious. Such things like love, friendship and family. They are important and nothing can replace them. Their impact is obvious and without them we are lost. But what is not always as obvious is our search for a deeper meaning and fulfillment in life. We do it in so many different ways, often quietly and without fuss. Our search for God is a lifelong one and it’s a search that does not always have obvious results. It is comforting and reassuring to know that God, despite what we may do, is always searching for us, looking out for us and importantly always on our side.

For many people the presumption often is, that God has given up on them. Perhaps it is the direction their life has taken, mistakes made, life struggles and disappointments or a combination of all together. But God is always on our side. Even if we choose a million wrong options God will not abandon us. A normal human response will be, “Sure that’s crazy. Why would God want to bother with me?” But God does. God’s love for us goes way beyond our limited horizons. Even if we don’t fully understand this, all we have to do is let some of our resistance go and let God do the rest.
