“… he hath inclined
his ear
unto me …”
— Psalm 116:2
King James Version of the Bible
from GOD THINGS
Knowing God … p. 17
What if we feel a longing to have God in our life but are unable to sense His presence, to know with certainty that He is there within us giving meaning to our life? Life’s experience in general tells us that it is not for us to decide when God will make Himself known to us although, without knowing it, we do play a role in the matter.
God reveals Himself to us through our unconscious mind when, at a time in our search for Him, reason fails us, we are at our most vulnerable and may be likened as to a child.
God’s revelation touches us so deeply, such that we are humbled, instinctively knowing we will never again be the same. His light within us is our guidepost and shows us the way. Our faith sustains us and enables us to do His will with joy in our heart.
Talking to God throughout the day, while giving thanks for His goodness and His love, comforts us and puts us on ever more familiar terms with Him. Over time we become as one with Him. And we are at peace.
