God is all around us, His miracles are evident in every day life. We just have to know how to listen and notice His presence. This passage, translated from the Spanish by me, comes from p.124 of the book 'La culpa es de la vaca'.
A child said: “God, talk to me.”
And so a lark from the field sang, but the child didn't hear it.
The child exclaimed, “God speak to me.”
And a clap of thunder rang out across the whole sky, but the child didn't hear it.
The child looked around him and said: “God, let me see you.”
And a radiant star shone out, but the child didn't notice it.
And again the child shouted: “God, show me a miracle.”
And from an egg came new life, but the child didn't notice it.
Weeping desperately, he said: “Touch me, God, so that I know you are with me.”
God bent down and touched the child. But he just brushed the butterfly away.
God is all around us, His miracles are evident in every day life. We just have to know how to listen and notice His presence.
