| God is
where He has always been, and He is doing what He has always
done. He is looking for you. God has been trying to connect
with you long before you pondered the question of His existence.
The truth is, you have been experiencing the negative consequences
of alienation from God all your life. Every person who exists
outside of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is suffering
from the "absence of God syndrome," which displays
itself in fear, guilt, and loneliness. Those who have not experienced
the forgiveness of God are doomed to wander through time cut
off from the vital life that only God can give. |

| Where is
God? He is nearer to you than you can possibly imagine. You
and I are no different than Adam and Eve, who, after disobeying
God in the Garden of Eden, experienced fear, guilt, and alienation
from God -- for the first time in their lives. They ran and
hid themselves from the presence of the Lord (Genesis 3:1-13).
God came looking for them, but they were hiding in the trees,
afraid to speak to Him. However, God loved His creation and
knew that something must be done if the fellowship between them
was to be restored. God looked for them; they certainly were
not looking for God. In the same way, God has been searching
for you all your life to love you and have a relationship with
you. The Bible teaches us that God is very near to each of us.
In the book of Acts it is recorded that He is "not far
from each one of us. For in him we live and move and have our
being" (Acts 17:27-28). |

What
is God doing? He is extending His grace (loving favor) to
every man who will receive it through His Son Jesus Christ.
The Bible records these words, "since we have been justified
through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus
Christ" (Romans 5:1). God is looking for people, like
you, who are seeking the meaning of life. He is willing to
extend His love to you for all of eternity if you will look
to Him by faith and allow Him to forgive you of your sin.
The Bible says it this way, "If we confess our sins,
he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify
us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9). God does exist,
and He is pursuing you. He loves you and His desire is for
you to know Him and experience the joy of His presence.
