I am embarking on a spiritual exercise that is offered by the organization that i work with. Each day we are given a passage to reflect and pray on. Today's passage was finding God in all things. It sounds so easy to say and it should be really simple to do, but how  do you find God in the things or people that bring you displeasure. How can you find God in the colleague who is secretly plotting your demise? How do you find God in the student that you are trying to help but is so unappreciative because, they feel entitled to everything? How do you find God in the person that you trusted but betrayed you and caused you pain?

I don't know the answer, but I simply can say you find God in those people, because you must. We are all creations of God and even within the bad and evil that people do, we must search for the good in them, because somewhere in there, there is good. I commonly say that hurting people hurt people. Maybe the God in them, is that they are need of love and because they lack it, they cannot give it to others. So instead of love and goodness, there is pain and evil.  Maybe in those instances, we are suppose to be the God they see and return their evil with love and goodness. Just a thought.
