The Seeker

"If you seek him, he will be found by you."  1 Chronicles 28:9

I sought God today at work,
And found Him in the kind support of a co-worker.

I sought God today in a store,
And found Him in the patient smile of a tired clerk.

I sought God today in a park,
And found him in the happy laughter of children at play.

I sought God today at home,
And found Him in my wife's tender hug.

I seek God every day in every place;
And, if I look hard enough, I find He is always there.

And slowly it occurs to me that long before I began seeking God,
He was seeking me.
