EXPERIENCING THE PRESENCE OF GOD

way, if we observe the world, and ponder over the wonders it contains, then the Creator Himself will appear before us; we will gaze on creation and see in it the face of the Lord. The moon was a new sight for Colonel Irwin. That is why, struck by its magnificence, he was able to experience the presence of God on it. In order to see God in His creation, we too have to look at everything— not as old and familiar—but as new and exciting; we have to look at things as if we are seeing them for the first time. There is no greater discovery than the discovery of God, no greater realization than to feel Him everywhere. When this realization is achieved, then everything becomes a reflection of His glory. The sunshine will portray His light, the trees, His beauty. One will feel His gentle touch in the winds as they caress one’s body. As one prostrates oneself before Him, it will be as though one has cast oneself at His feet. God is, indeed, everywhere, but only those who are blessed with vision can behold Him.
