God is there. “He’s There,” and always has been. God is there even if you don’t know Him — like it or not.
Many can’t know Him because of some deranged forces in the spiritual realm; forces that are at war with you, whose job it is too distant you from Him, which is no fault of yours, because it happened prior to your birth; it’s the fault of Adam and Eve; so, the day-to-day teachings of how not to know God, is there; reinforced everyday by this world.
If you and I are friends, we’d be no less friends just because I’m somewhere else, but the distance may make it seem that way according to whom you’re listening. The world frowns upon long-distance relationships because of the difficulties it puts on emotions when wanting to be close. It’s only until that gap is closed that your love for one another can grow — they say, into what you knew it would be if they were here.
It’s like that with God. God first loved us – (1st John 4:19), and – (Titus 3:3-5), but we were too distant to realize it because we were listening to worldly stuff; worldly stuff that teaches us to be indifferent to God. This false detachment made things so confusing, and so hard to understand, because of the secular world’s tainted perception of God, which is proclaiming, and programming us with its phony, deceiving, and mistaken reasonings; marketed through its propaganda techniques.
The secular world wants to have all the answers. So, why is God, and who is He to me? That’s the #1 job of the secular world, and it’s to keep you/me forever in that frame of mind. But God keeps bridging the gaps the way He does, until He’s close enough for you to take notice – “He’s There.”
Once we understand “He’s There,” and His Capacity, our next step is to build a relationship with Him to not just know “He’s There,” but to understand His connection with us that we weren’t mindful existed. But how? I’ll give you one guess — time’s up, His Word. God gave us His Word, and that word was Jesus. Jesus is God’s Word in the flesh – (John1:1), and – (John1:14). God gave us Jesus.
Through Jesus, God’s Word becomes alive to reveal the truth between you and Him, Him and me, and He and us, and that truth is, God’s always there. “He’s There” on, and in you, and always has been, like white on rice.
If you trust your partner in a relationship, what they say because of love, even though you may not have a complete understanding about it, but know their track record is always having your best interest, you’ll trust them because of that love. Both your love makes difficult matters between you trivial. The success rate you unexpectedly found establishes your faith, and strengthens your love, and trust in them, but this partner is not your physical lover, it’s the person of Jesus, the word of God that became flesh in the body of a man, and His story is entrenched throughout the Holy Bible.
It’ll be faith in YOUR and God’s relationship that will unlock doors, level mountains, and make possible the impossible. The stronger your faith in God, the more you’ll see these things happening. Every path you walk, the sea/roadblocks will be parted, and the enjoyment of watching it occur can’t be measured. All you’ll need to do is follow/do obedience.
What once was a distant relationship — practically unknown, you gave a chance, and it got stronger, then it got closer, and lastly, more beautiful because He’s God, and “He’s there.”
