23.08.2009 Where is God?

I just found this on the Internet by pure incident, and i want to share it, because it is beautiful and fits as a Sunday thought:

When Martin Buber, the great Jewish philosopher and theologian, was asked, “Where is God?” he was wise enough not to give the cliche answers: God is everywhere; God is found in churches and synagogues. Buber would answer that God is in relationships. God is not found in people, God is found between people. When you and I are truly attuned to each other, God comes down and fills the space between us so that we are connected, not separated. Both love and true friendship are more than a way of knowing that we matter to someone else. They are a way of mattering to the world, bringing God into a world that would otherwise be a vale of selfishness and loneliness.
