Remember those times when it was the best thing ever to play a game of hide-and-go-seek? For those of you who still love to play the game, congratulations on being able to do something I cannot. I have never liked the game and could never hide alone for fear of never being sought. Why I tortured myself when I was little by pretending to like this game I will never know.
The other day I was reading something that struck me with a wonderfully new thought. We have fellowship with a God that is close and will always be close. If God was far from us and we had to go searching for Him day after day just to spend a little time with Him, how quickly would you give up the search? Oh how grateful I am that God desires to be near and not far.
As I was considering how quickly I would give up if I had to have a continual game of hide-and-go-seek with God, I began to see just how much I have to grow. Until I get to the point where my heart desires to do whatever it takes to meet with God, even playing a children’s game I dread to think about, there is still room for improvement. And this may not happen this side of eternity, but if God has called me to become more like Christ, then so be it.
Praise God that He is near and praise God that He continues to show us how to fall more in love with Him on a continual basis.
