Who's hiding from who?

05 December 2007

"I am beginning now to see how radically different the character of my spiritual journey will change when I no longer think of God as hiding out and making it difficult as possible for me to find him, but, instead, as the one who is looking for me while I am doing the hiding."--Henri Nouwen

[Who's the one really hiding in your spiritual journey? ]

Great quote! It is amazing to consider that WE are the ones being sought by the hounds of heaven... not children frantically seeking the invisible (as it sometimes feels). This seems similar to the idea of REAL freedom... that the God of the universe is not stopping me from doing what I want, He is setting me free to be who I really am. It is strange how we get these ideas mixed up...
