Concealed Presence

 I have heard any number of so called believers say that they cannot find God.  Well, maybe because this God likes showing up concealed right in front of us.  Christians say they believe in Jesus but cannot seem to find him, the Risen One, in their life.  Apparently, he did show up for about 30 years in flesh and blood as a carpenter in a small town.  He did not seem to mind being unnoticed or obscure.  If he is God as Christians believe, then being obscure, concealed in plane sight, seems to suit God.  So give up thinking that your belief, faith, has the power to make God more visible to you.  God is plenty visible for those who have eyes to see.  It is the inner eye of meditation that opens us up to the concealed presence.
