Seeing God in Everything?

Brian McDonald

Recently I read a section in the book titled Seeing God Everywhere. The section I read dealt with how it is possible to see God in everything. A question is arisen asking how is it possible to see God who is invisible and infinite, in a world that is visible and finite. The task is quite difficult and complex. It is also stated that how can we supply words for something that is so indescribable and majestic.

It is very hard to put into words the feeling of amazement and wonder that are felt with relation to religious experience. The book even mentions it is almost an insult to try and capture something so transcendent and wonderful into words. The book also raises good questions to ask how to see God in everything. To accomplish this goal we would have to see God in all of the facets and inhabitants of earth, including ourselves.
