God is Everywhere . . .

By Elder Joseph the Hesychast of the Holy Mountain Athos

“God is everywhere. There is no place God is not…You cry out to Him, ‘Where art Thou, my God?’ And He answers, “I am present, my child! I am always beside you.’ Both inside and outside, above and below, wherever you turn, everything shouts, ‘God!’ In Him we live and move. We breathe God, we eat God, we clothe ourselves with God. Everything praises and blesses God. All of creation shouts His praise. Everything animate and inanimate speaks wondrously and glorifies the Creator. Let every breath praise the Lord!”

A Life in Christ?

A response to an individual snared in always seeing people in a bad light. . . 

The question is: Do you want to continue only seeing people the way you usually do (i.e. their faults, sins, or even their attributes, etc.) or do you want to see them the way Christ sees them? How does Christ see them you may ask? He sees them as someone He loves infinitely and would give His life for. Do this and you will see Him everywhere, filling all beings and all things.
