The Judge

 There is the story of the unjust judge who callously ignores a poor widow.  She wants justice done for her so she can survive. But she is poor and has nothing the judge might want.  She cannot bribe him.  She is knocking on his door and he does not answer.  We think he is a terrible person right?  Well, think of God knocking on the door of your heart and being ignored because God has nothing your selfish, self-centered heart might want.  When people say they look but cannot find God, it might be because they are blind rather than God is absent.  Self blinds us.
