God is Everywhere – Quote of the Week – Thomas Merton

By


Life is this simple.
We are living in a world that is absolutely transparent and God is shining through it all the time.

This is not just a fable or a nice story.
 It is true.
If we abandon ourselves to God and forget ourselves, we see it sometimes and we see it maybe frequently.
God manifests himself everywhere, in everything, in people and in things and in nature and in events.
It becomes very obvious that he is everywhere and in everything and we cannot be without him.
You cannot be without God. 
It’s impossible.
 It’s simply impossible.

    Hi Colleen, Merton is one of my favorites too. He always makes me think. I too have been pondering finding God in our everyday life so look forward to your podcast.

    This is such confirmation for me. God, I thank you for reinforcing your whisper to me in so many ways and through so many people! Thanks, Jean, for sharing.

    I couldn’t agree more. The fingerprint of God is all around us, although I think we miss it often because of your busy lives.

    Hi Jean
    Great words! Even those who don’t have Jesus living in their hearts, are still dependent on Him for living the natural life.
