Grappling With Divinity

Are you looking for God
in the morning sunrise
in the evening sunset
in the cool spring breeze
in the crisp autumn air
are you looking for God
in a child’s laughter
in that same child’s tears
in the pain you cause
in the joy you create
are you looking for God
who is looking back at you
in all of the things you do
in all of the things you don’t
in your flaws and imperfections
in the love that sustains you

~Robert Van Valkenburgh
