When the kids want to ask us something or need us to get something for them, they shout down the passage, "Mom/Dad, where are you?"
If they bothered to walk a few meters they would see that we are closer than they realise.
Sometimes we call out to God in a similar way, asking "Lord, where are you?"
The truth is, God hasn't gone anywhere - he is still there.
Trevor Hudson reminds us that, "Nothing can ever extinguish the flame in God's heart that burns to be in personal relationship with us."
However, sometimes we are the ones who do the hiding and God needs to come searching for us. He calls out to us, "Where are you?" not because he wants to chastise, but because he wants to loves us and restore us.
I urge you not to ignore the call of God. When we return to his loving arms, all will be well.
