Everyone is looking for Him but they often don't know it. In the day to day grind, as they seek some reason to work and to live, they are looking for Him. They often can't realize it, because of all the internal "noise" that inhibits their search. Most of those "inner voices" come from our attachment to sin.
Sometimes we pray and pray and pray, and it seems there is no answer. We pray because we are looking for Him. We are hoping to see Him. We pray and seek, seek and pray, and wonder where He is.
And the truth is, He never leaves us. He loves us and stays by us. We seek Him, but we don't really look for Him. We only half seek Him, half-afraid of finding Him. We are actually half-afraid that if we do see Him, He will ask something we cannot give.
But He won't. He never has. "My yoke is easy, my burden light." The burden of a life free from constant fear and doubt is light indeed. God is with us--born to us as a Child in Bethlehem, and given us as our constant companion, our savior, our brother.
We may not find Him, but He will find us and preach to us--for that is why He came--to bring the love of the Father, the salvation of the world.
