Hidden in plain view

The best things in life are unseen, invisible,
yet hidden
in plain view.

You don't see love
but you feel it
you don't see the wind
but it's real

We can't see God
but you can feel Him
in everyone
everything he created:
the rose
to which St. Francis of Sales
said, "Stop shouting!"
the universe with its mystery
the baby in the mother's womb

who if not a personal and real God
could have created so much perfection & beauty?

Just look at Jesus' life
from His miraculous birth
by the Virgin Mary
& the Holy Spirit.

Don't let yourself be blinded by this physical world
you are not just your bones, your body
listen close to feel the Spirit that God breathed into you

Ask God to become more real to you
He'll never leave this prayer unanswered

Everything is a miracle in us
your heart, your brain

Faith is invisible
ask God to strengthen your little faith
even a mustard seed grows

If God gave us His "Commandments"
it's because He knows better.
Wouldn't you make rules for your children too
knowing they are too little & don't know any better?
It's not God's fault one of his angels rebelled to the point where
he'd lead us all astray.

Remember Love
remember Jesus
is not just a name in history
