Being Found*

Some people tell me that they cannot find God.  They wonder if they are atheists or are just looking in the wrong place, but there is no God in their lives.  I suggest that maybe God, if there is a God, does not always want to be found by our active efforts or search.  Maybe God wants to do the finding, and we should just wait and be found.  So how to do this?  Meditation is a way.  In meditation, you do less and you let God or some Energy or Power find you.  Meditation usually means being still in one place, letting go of your focus on thoughts, and words.  Be still and try to be open.  To what?  Good question.  As long as you do not try to know what the what is, you will be open to God being who God wants to be for you.
