A pastor phones the home of some folks who recently were guests at his church.  He wanted to be sure they felt welcome and answer any questions they might have.  The call is made and the conversation unfolds as follows.

Pastor:  “Who is this?”

Whisper:  “Jimmy.”

Pastor:  “How old are you, Jimmy?”

Whisper:  “Four.”

“Jimmy, may I please speak to your dad?

“He’s busy,” the kid says, still in a whisper.

“OK, how about your mom?”

“She’s busy, too.”

“Jimmy, are there any other adults there?”

“The police.”

“Let me talk to the policeman.”

“He’s busy.”

“Who else is there?”

“Firemen.”

Now very concerned, the pastor is insistent:  “Jimmy, let me talk to one of the firemen.”

“They’re all busy.”

“Jimmy, what are they all busy doing?”

 Whisper:  “They’re all looking for me.”

Be sure of this:  God knows right where you are.  He always has.  He’s never very far away and He is waiting for you to stop hiding and start connecting to Him.
