Where Is God?

In Bolivia there is the Virgin of Copacabana.  When you leave the presence of the statue in its shrine, you never turn your back.  You walk backwards until you are outside.  Do you ever turn your back on God?  Well, if you think God is in a place or particular space, then when you are not facing that space, I suppose you are turning your face away from God.  But, if you consider God to be everywhere, as says the Bible, then you are never turning your back on God.  God is always with you, in front and behind.  You are surrounded by God within, and without.  If there is to be a holy space, it is not going to be a building.  It is going to be you.
