Day 157 of Photo Inspirations — Let’s Play Hide & Seek
\nI love stopping in to see my little great niece when she has her weekly visit with my mother-in-law, her Great Granny.  On my way home from Texas, yesterday, I stopped in to see her before I made it home   She’ll be two this month and, oh my, does she ever provide non-stop entertainment.  I told my sister-in-law that they need to charge for visitors to see her.  She’s got quite the personality AND charm — not to mention that she talks like a 3-year old!  Yesterday, she was entertaining herself, and us, as she played in Mom’s water hose — thus, my photo inspirations for today.<\/p>\n

I thought about my last visit to see her and she was playing Hide & Seek with me.  I counted and she hid — well, not exactly — before I finished counting, she was coming back around the corner, saying “I’m here!”  Then she had some plastic eggs left over from Easter and she’d hide them from us, but when we’d go looking for them, she’d lead us to them to show us where they were at.  In reality, she really wasn’t “hiding” and we didn’t really have to “seek” too hard at all.  <\/p>\n

On Sunday, I posted about having a “God-consciousness” — an awareness of Him with us, around us, and in us all the time.  The scripture reference I used was “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13.  After I posted that message, an exclamation point was placed on what I said, as I heard the minister quote this scripture:  “And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who SEEK HIM.”  Hebrews 11:6<\/p>\n

Somewhat like my little niece, God likes playing “NOT HIDING, BUT SEEKING”.  He’s not “gaming us” — manipulating us.  He’s giving us the clues, the secrets, the keys, the absolute answers to “Where is God when I need Him?”   He’s right here.  Right now.  He’s exposed Himself to us and He’s even leading us to the treasures in secret places.  All He asks in return?  To seek Him with our whole hearts; to trust in Him and believe in Him.  And here’s the real deal — He always plays fair.  He doesn’t cheat.  He doesn’t hide from us where we can’t find Him.  And, like my little niece, He says — loud and clear…..”I’M HERE!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
