God is Never Distant
You don’t have to go looking for God.
He is within and around you,
He is never very far.
In the space between your inhale and your exhale,
In the buoyancy of your breath.
He is the glow that softens your edges.
He is the breeze that kisses your skin.
He is the sunshine that warms your back.
He is the music that speaks to your soul.
He is the kindness of a stranger’s smile.
He is the twinkle in a loved one’s eye.
He is the fragrance of blooming roses.
He is the aroma of fresh baking bread.
He is the ease between those who know each other well.
He is the belly laugh shared between friends.
God is everywhere.
He is never very far.
In every quiet moment.
In the whispers when it’s loud.
In the soft falling snow.
In the delicate drops of rain.
In the glory of a sunrise.
In the rhythm of the waves.
In the comfort of a cuddle.
In the safety of an embrace.
In the beauty of a sunset.
In the singing of the wind.
In the gentleness of water.
In the release of a cry.
God is never distant.
He is never very far.
