The Secrets of a Hidden God.

(Justin) I have recently learned that God loves to hide. He has a nack for sneaking away and disappearing right when you get a hold of him! This sounds insensitive and mean at first glance, but I have seen a little graceful glance at a bigger picture.
God is always available for us and always is with us, but he sometimes feels distant: sometimes our divine relationship takes more effort and care on our part. I was wondering why this was. I believe it is because God desires our growth, advancement, and above all his own glory shown in our seeking after him.
God loves to be sought after and wrestled with, he loves being the fullness of our affections. Sometimes we fall into a sort of lukewarm contentment and take him for granted, then he hides, we realize that we are not where he is and then we re-search for him. This is good for our growth and enjoyment of him! God knows how to keep the relationship spicy! He desires our secret prayers, our stolen moments of solitude, and the inner yearning of our hearts.
The kingdom of God truly is a treasure hidden, sometimes even after we purchase it we take it for granted or become lazy and the kingdom re-buries itself. It is such a joy to have a God who delights in us enough to teach us to always seek him. Distance makes the heart grow fonder.


If you don't get what I mean by this then just forget you read it.
