Real Hope: Meeting With GodНамуна

Just Be

David pondered the presence of God and discovered he could not escape it.

Do you believe that God is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent (all powerful, all knowing, all present)?

These are three divine characteristics of God. In fact, to be God is to be those things.

The challenge of meeting with God has bothered human beings since the beginning of time. How? When? Where? What shall I do? Who is allowed to?

I believe that meeting with God is actually not dependent on God. Rather, God is waiting on you. But contrary to most of what history has exampled – I believe that meeting with God is not about doing, rather it is about being. You don’t need to perform to attract His attention. You just need to be, wherever you are, open hearted, honest, still, and in contemplation of how much you’re loved by God! That is the meeting place.

‘We cannot attain the presence of God because we’re already totally in the presence of God. What’s absent is awareness.’ – Richard Rohr.
