Where is God? This question echoes across generations, whispered in moments of joy, cried out in times of pain, and pondered in the silence of our hearts. Humanity has always searched for meaning, longing for a connection to something greater than ourselves.
From the beginning of time, one truth has been woven into existence: man belongs to God, and God belongs to man. Yet, despite this deep connection, we often feel lost. We search for Him in success, relationships, and fleeting moments of happiness—only to be left unfulfilled.
The reality is simple, yet hard to accept: God has always been here. He is the one for one, the God who sees each of us individually, and He is the one for all, the God whose love knows no limits.
But do we truly recognize Him? Or are we too distracted by the weight of the world to see the love that has been holding us all along?
The Search for God in a Distracted World
Every human heart longs for something greater. Some call it purpose, others call it destiny, but at its core, it is the longing for God. Even those who claim they do not believe feel it in their quiet moments—the emptiness, the need for something beyond what this world can offer.Yet, we spend so much of our lives searching in the wrong places.
- We chase material success, hoping it will fill the void.
- We seek validation from others, mistaking approval for peace.
- We drown ourselves in distractions, avoiding the questions we fear.
But God is not found in the noise. He is in the stillness, waiting for us to slow down and recognize His presence.
“Be still, and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10)
The problem is we don’t like stillness. Silence makes us uncomfortable because it forces us to face our deepest fears. But if we truly want to find God, we must learn to listen.
Why Does God Allow Suffering?
One of the biggest barriers to faith is pain. We ask: If God loves us, why does He let us suffer?This question is not new. Throughout history, people have wrestled with it. Job, a man of great faith, lost everything—his family, his wealth, his health. He did not understand why, but he held on.
“Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him.” (Job 13:15)
God’s silence does not mean His absence. Sometimes, silence is His way of teaching us. Sometimes, waiting is His way of strengthening our faith.
We ask for easy roads, but God gives us mountains to climb—because He knows that in the struggle, we become who we were meant to be.
God’s Love is Not Like Human Love
Humans love conditionally. We love when it’s easy, when it benefits us, when we feel loved in return. But God loves differently.“I have loved you with an everlasting love.” (Jeremiah 31:3)
Despite this, we often believe lies about His love:
- I am too broken for God to love me.
- I have made too many mistakes.
- I need to earn His approval.
But God never stops loving. The Prodigal Son wasted everything, yet his father ran to him with open arms. That is God’s love—always waiting, always forgiving, always welcoming us home.
The real question is: Do we accept it? Or do we push Him away, convinced we are too far gone?
Faith Is a Choice
God does not force us to believe. He is always near, but He gives us the choice to seek Him or turn away.
Faith is not about never doubting. Faith is choosing to believe, even in the midst of doubt.
“I do not understand, but I trust You.”
“I am afraid, but I will follow You.”
“I feel alone, but I know You are with me.”
One for one, one for all—God is the one who walks with each of us individually, yet His love covers all of humanity.
He is not just the God of the world. He is the God of you.
He sees you. He knows your heart. He knows your struggles.
But will you let Him in?

Living for More Than Ourselves
If we truly believe in God, we cannot live only for ourselves.Jesus did not seek comfort, wealth, or status. He lived for others.
- He fed the hungry.
- He healed the broken.
- He forgave the sinners.
If we claim to follow Him, our lives must reflect Him.
Faith is not just about believing—it’s about becoming.
