Peek-A-Boo

You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:13 NIV

Today was our granddaughter's first birthday. We went to her party and then stayed a little while since they live four hours away. After her bath we were playing and she started to do peek-a-boo. It was adorable of course. She'd tuck her head down then pop up and start giggling. She'd cover her eyes then move her hands away so we could see her. It was pure joy watching and interacting with her.

This simple child's game illustrates the attitude we should have towards God. We can't see God if we cover our eyes and act like he can't see us either. He is always there. We just have to be brave enough to look through our pain and shame. When we do we will discover he is there waiting. Just like I was there waiting for R to uncover her eyes. She found me and she always will be able to.

God's there waiting; we must be willing to look for him.
