I was struck by the "Quick message" I found today (see top right side panel).  "People see God everyday; they just do not recognize Him".  Wow…that is the truth.  We zoom by God everyday without saying "Hi" or even making eye contact.  I wish I would slow down and see God for who He is.  I wish I knew Him better.  Let’s make it a point today to slow down and see God.  We just might learn something about this amazing God we have.  Pray this prayer with me…

Loving and gracious God, we run by you everyday without seeing you.  We speak about you with hearing you.  You are right next to us but we do not feel you.  It is not because you are not doing your job, but because we are so caught up in ourselves we do not recognize you.  Thank you for not giving up on us and for always pursuing us.  Thank you for listening to us even though we rarely listen to you.  Thank you for seeing our needs and responding to those needs even though we rarely see you in others.  Thank you for being next to us in times of great need and great joy even though we forget about you.  Thank you, God!  Please open our eyes and ears open so that people in need do not get missed.  You are an awesome God!  Thank you for sending your Son, Jesus Christ to die for our sins.  We praise and lift up your name, though Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen! -EDH-
