Where is God?

In Dr. Gerald May's book, The Dark Night of the Soul, he makes the statement that it is impossible for God to be any closer to you than he already is. That statement may feel just about as far from your reality as it could possibly be, until you really stop and think about it. Dr. May continues by saying that the challenge is for us to become aware of that fact. -- Sallie Culbreath

This quote is from a woman who was abused by trusted Christians. Regardless of the source of our own dark night, spiritual growth will always result in the awareness of the immediate presence of God. We struggle and thrash, and eventually come to rest in the peace of Christ. Thanks be to God!
