Searching for God, or stopping to respond to his invitation?

"In fact, our search for God is only our response to his search for us. He knocks at our door, but for many people, their lives are too preoccupied for them to be able to hear." - Cardinal Basil Hume

There is so much truth in the words 'too preoccupied' - how many times have we felt so overwhelmed by all that we have to do, and all the noise that preoccupies our minds, that we can't hear the voice of God?

Instead of us trying to bash down imaginary doors to find out where God is hiding, why don't we pause for a while and listen where he is already knocking?

"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me." - Revelation 3:20
