God of My Daily Routine (8)
Finding You in Everything
But on the other hand, if it’s true that I can lose You in everything, it must also be true that I can find You in everything. If You have given me no single place to which I can flee and be sure of finding You, if anything I do can mean the loss of You, then I must be able to find You in every place, in each and every thing I do. Otherwise I couldn’t find You at all, and this cannot be since I can’t possibly exist without You. Thus, I must seek You in all things. If every day is “everyday,” then every day is Your day, and every hour is the hour of Your grace.
Everything is “everyday” and your day together. And thus, my God, I again understand something I have always known. A truth has again come to life in my heart, which my reason has already often told me — and of what value is a truth of reason when it is not also the life of the heart?
