Suppressing God

The surest way to suppress our ability to recognize the revelation of God is to take things for granted. Indifference to the divine mystery of life is perhaps our greatest shortfall. As civilization continues to advance our sense of wonder continues to decline. Such decline is an alarming symptom of our  shortsighted,  mortal condition.
 
Modern society will not perish from a lack of information, but from a lack of compassion.
 
The beginning of our happiness lies in the understanding that life without  God  is not worth living. What we lack is not a will to believe, but a will to dig deeper  -   to go the extra mile   -   to seek until we find - to sincerely search for whatever it is we lack. Awareness of God's divine presence begins with faith and wonder. It is the result of what a person does on the inside. "The kingdom of God is within." (Luke 17:21)
 
The greatest hindrance to such awareness, to discovering the kingdom within, is our lack of motivation to learn more, our failed attempts to understand more, and  our  inability to pray more.
