Where Is God?

 God is at home. It is we who have gone out for a walk. --- Meister Eckhart

I love this quote. I have loved this for decades. Contemplate this for awhile, and you will reap many insights.

I have experienced the Divine Presence is absolutely everywhere.  The Bible has many references to this. Here is the Message Version of Psalm 139:7-12.

Is there anyplace I can go to avoid your Spirit?
    to be out of your sight?
If I climb to the sky, you’re there!
    If I go underground, you’re there!
If I flew on morning’s wings
    to the far western horizon,
You’d find me in a minute—
    you’re already there waiting!
Then I said to myself, “Oh, he even sees me in the dark!
    At night I’m immersed in the light!”
It’s a fact: darkness isn’t dark to you;
    night and day, darkness and light, they’re all the same to you.

When we come to realize this in our hearts, the world is a far different place.
