WE KNOW GOD EXISTS BUT WE DON'T
FEEL CLOSE TO HIM

WE KNOW GOD EXISTS BUT WE DON’T FEEL CLOSE TO HIM
By Ernest O'Neill
If we can put a camera up in one of our satellites that is actually powerful enough to read the page of the Minneapolis Tribune that you are holding down on Hennepin Avenue (and that's true), if we can do that then obviously God sees all your steps. He sees every step that you take. He sees every thought that you think. He hears every word that you say. He sees everything you do.
Many of us believe that and yet it's strange we still don't feel that God is very close to us through the day. We don't feel very sensitive to His presence and yet we know in our minds, "Yes I know. God is omniscient. He must see all my steps. He knows everything I do." And yet we don't replicate that. We don't give back to Him that kind of closeness. We know He sees us but we don't have the sense that we know exactly what He's thinking of us and what He wants us to do.
