Mat 16,24: Jesus said unto his disciples, "If any man will COME AFTER ME, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and FOLLOW me."
Mat 19,21: Jesus said unto him, "If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and COME AND FOLLOW ME."
But, where is He now? Where are You, o Lord?
Anybody can tell me?

God is here with us in the form of the Holy Spirit. It is important to remember that Jesus promised to be with us always-even to the end of the age, and He always keeps His promises. If you feel like God is absent, why don't you open up your bible? If you seek Him, you will find Him.

Dear Loved1..I believe in his promise that he is with us always. He is not absent, but in this real life he challenges me to play hide-and-seek. I read the Bible everyday, and he sends me out to go somewhere he's there already.

That's so deep and personal reflection my Dear. Thanks for your sharing. So... God's hiding within everyone's heart too.
Deo Gratias.

He's here with us all of the time. We can get so caught up in the things of the world, that we lose touch with the Lord sometimes. We live in a wicked world and we need Jesus so badly.
Just call upon Him and know by faith that He is there.
God bless.

Thank you Lord...You are there.
Thank you Springlady... I see He is with us now. But sometimes I feel He challenges me to play hide-and-seek in this real world. That's why I name life is a pilgrimage.
God bless you too.

Ever hear the poem about the footprints in the sand?? I dont remember how the whole thing goes, but its about a guy walking along the beach talking to Jesus. He looked back and he saw two sets of footprints in the sand. Then he thought to himswelf about all of the hard times in his life and how there was only one set of footprints during those times. He turned to the lord and asked him why he was abandond during the hardest times. The Lord looked at him and said "My child, those times when you see only one set of footprints in the sand, are the times i carried you"
Jesus is with you always, we tend to get so wrapped up in the material world we dont here his whispers through the storm that is our lives.
Jesus awaits our union with him, and will physically be here with you sooner than you may think. Dont worry about the day we are reunited with our saviour, just keep focused on what are are meant to be doing here on earth. "The harvest is plenty, but the workers are few" Take up your cross and get to work in the vinyard.
God Bless you

Dear Socorban... That's my favourite poem too that I read when I was in high-school. Thanks for reminding me that.
And so...now I feel He is hiding in the vineyard, the "place" to where He sents me out.
God Bless you too.
