From the Tales of the Hasidim:


"The Rabbi's son went out to play Hide-and-Seek with the other children, and when he became "it", the other children played a trick on him, and all ran away home. The boy waited and waited, and then went home crying. His father met him at the door, and asked him why he was crying, and the boy told him, and the Rabbi said: "So it is with God. He hides, and no one seeks Him."

He ain't. Like I've said in other threads, I do not believe that GOD has total control of everything. This is evidenced by the situation that the world now faces. I'm not going to say the HE has *no interest* in heathens but I think He spends a lot more of His time and energy on God loving people.

If one personally thinks God is hiding in their life, then I would suggest that one merely open one's eyes, mix a little praise and a little Faith and, waalaa... God will reveal Himself plainly thru His powers to calm, to give, to bless, to love... to...to...

I always liked that scene in the movie Tin Men when a man discovered God hiding in an all-you-can-eat salad bar.

Here's a little poetic prose for pondering (gads I love pondering!)

"... And you who seek to know Me, know that your seeking and yearning will avail you not, unless you know the Mystery: for if that which you seek, you find not within yourself, you will never find it without. For behold, I have been with you from the beginning, and I am that which is attained at the end of desire".

I AM that I AM that I AM that I AM!! (I am?!?)

Hmmmmm daylia

I was going to say - many people who are crafting something put it away when it starts to "go wrong" and ignore it for a long time - Why should God be different? (If He is ignoring us - YMMV)

Probably embarassed at how badly his creation is messing things up.
