As a boy, I grew extremely curious of God mainly because I did not know Him, or anything about Him. Death always scared me because, to me, there was nothing there. When you died, it was over…nothing…zip…nada…

But when I became a believer, it was very hard to picture this image of God in my head. I never had anyone to share what he looked like. Of course he had a long flowing beard…but that was it. God was completely abstract and formless. I would pray to nothing…this nothing that controlled all the stars in all the galaxies and even the very muscle that helps me to breathe. The image was void. There was not an image that encapsulated God in any sense of the imagination.

Then, God showed me what he was. He was everything. All of creation, all of life…that is who he is. He holds the very definition of creation in the palm of His hand proving us that we are so completely small and insignificant, but then He formed us with the very workings of His finger tips.

This God, this nothing is the very ski you look up to during the night and fear because of the vast complexity of it. This God, this nothing is the miles of mountains that throw themselves upward from the earth spontaneously creating a landscape only an artist could devise. This God, this nothing is the very sun falling on the landscape as beams of colors melt the backdrop of the canvas. The God, this nothing is the laughter of children playing on the playground outside of my office everyday. The God, this nothing is the sound of complete silence screaming in your ear. This God, this nothing is the very heart beat found in my love’s chest speaking of only life and amazement.

Yet, this God, this nothing is the very legs of a being that I can crawl upon to be held when life becomes overbearing and full of pain. This God, this nothing is the very voice hidden in my ear with nothing but constant encouragement and praise. This God, this nothing is the pain and sorrow felt in my chest when I feel far from Him. This God, this nothing is the one who met me on the mountain 3 years ago.

Someone once told me to find God in everything because He is ever around us. So I decided to start looking. This God, this nothing is nothing you can imagine, but everything you can see. He is ever around you and I.
