Hide & Seek is it a pointless game? We can never find a good hiding place, no matter how much effort we invest. Why do we bother playing? Why does it always seem like a fun idea? Why are we addicted to playing this game? By now, we know, we believe and we somehow understand we will be found. In fact we're counting on it. Do we love the attention? Do we love the fact someone cares enough to seek us and find us every single time we want to play? Can it be we default to this game because it's simple and easy to play? What kind of VALUE does Hide & Seek provide for us and to all of the others surrounding us? How fruitful is Hide & Seek? Do we really want to play another game? We do not ask this question because we've taken great efforts to separate ourselves from The Others in Our World. Deep down, we might feel we desire separation. Even though as a human being we are already separated from the rest of Our World. We do only have ONE body, right? What most of us truly desire is not separation. WE TRULY DESIRE CONNECTION.
If we ever wonder about this, let’s say by actually connecting with our Mind and maybe even our Heart and yes, we can choose to include our Spirit as well, we may realize that any type of connection we desire to have will do just fine. Have you ever considered why we are able to talk to each other? Is it so we can separate ourselves form Our World of wonderful Human Beings? This can’t be, right? Being able to talk and communicate with each other on this Plane of Existence must have been designed for the Purpose of Connection; its got to be!
At times, it seems we’ve made Our World so small we may sometimes find ourselves truly isolated as we live on this big, beautiful and wonderful world. Yet, at times we may feel a force telling us false truths. Feeding our minds misdirection, misinformation and misguidance. Have we discovered a new place to hide once again? YES, SUCCESS!! AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, WE FINALLY FOUND OURSELVES ANOTHER AWESOME HIDING PLACE!! Only now, some of us may may have doubts and may struggle to recognize when God sends someone loving to tell us:
Nice job. Wow, this time you truly put a lot of effort and energy in finding this very exclusive and isolated hiding place. Well, I heard you wondering and wondering how on earth are you going to ever get out of this one! So, I'm tapping you on your shoulder and happily saying “I’ve got to run!”, because now it’s your turn, once again!
“TAG, YOUR IT!”
So this is what it may take until we suddenly begin our quest to seek and find God. This quest can bring a real, true and powerful spiritual awakening. God can be anywhere and everywhere at the same time. Oooh, scary… Oooh, full of Power. God is good because he provides His help and makes our journey as simple as can be. Finding God can be accomplished with a few simple steps. Developing honesty, an open mind and willingness makes our journey easier. The greatest spiritual awakening for some about playing Hide & Seek is realizing we’ve always had our freedom. When we were hiding, our freedom was hiding with us, as well. Where do u think it would go? . We we’re always choosing whether or not to give up searching for God and go back to finding a better so called hiding spot. I don’t know about you, but my fear wants me to think God will leave me behind one day and I would have to live in this world on my own -without His Love. This is for real scary, scary…
Now I know, God is available for me in any moment I choose to seek Him. Living with this knowledge, I do not wonder if I will ever be alone again. I’ll still be able to stray along the way and know if I ever seek God I’ll realize, God is Everywhere. Under every rock, inside every person and surrounding every situation in the form of Acceptance. Seeking God, I’ve discovered this peculiar formation called Resentment; its the way my mind tricks me into fleeing His Acceptance of The Others and begin the flooding of my entire body with the shiver and chill of very ill feelings. Ill feelings which stab me down to the bone.
When I can figure out how to shake these feelings off, I may once again open up my sleepy eyes and joyfully begin to realize their is a force up up in those skies and all those years of Hide & Seek God was always there, watching me, loving me and allowing me to be as free as I chose to be. You see, we’ve always brought great joy to God each time he saw us coming back. Even when we left His grace, His heart reached out in every hiding place. We seemed to know He was always around by feeling his presence and hearing his sound. God’s Love is something I can’t seem to deny. No matter how hard I try and try.
Hide & Seek is a game I can play once more.
God gave me free will, I can choose which door.
