The Immense God has nowhere to go ... He's already there!!

Been ruminating on how the greatness/bigness of God assures the reality of His constant presence ... here's some of the thinking going on in my thinker ...

God’s “felt absence” is not non-existence. For as He is with me in His presence, He is just as so in His “absence”. I best read absence to mean silence. There are times of loss. Loss of friends … such loss is generally accompanied by sorrow. It’s in sorrow I need faith, faith in the One who is “Oh too silently within me”. Times of losses of; friends, sensing the Divine presence, being empowered by open joy are identified with emptiness. In such times, faith is inspired by hope. A hope that recalls the past blessings, reminds the self of the greatness and goodness of the “silent One who is with me”. When in such faith I must listen as “one with ears called to hear”.
