Finding God Off the Beaten Path
Just because you don't see dogs aimlessly wondering the streets doesn't mean there aren't homeless dogs.
There are hundreds in the animal shelter just a few miles from your home. Go there.
Just because you don't see people with bones outlined through their clothing doesn't mean there aren't hungry people.
There are dozens at the soup kitchen, downtown in your city.
Go there.
Just because you don't see a 20-something-year-old with a needle dangling from an arm doesn't mean there aren't addicts among America's youth.
There are many at recovery centers all
around, and waiting to enter recovery centers all around. Go there.
Just because you don't see kids walking around with no hair or eyebrows doesn't mean there aren't children being medicated/poisoned in the fight for their lives.
There are hundreds at the hospital around the corner from where you work. Go there.
Just because you don't see women walking around with black eyes and bruised arms doesn't mean there aren't women in abusive relationships.
There are many at the non-profit women's center just downtown. Go there.
Just because you don't see God doesn't mean He's not present.
Go to these places I've mentioned.
You may find God while you're there; I hear he likes to hang out where he's most needed, and sometimes, least expected.
