“God, are you there?” “God, are you there?”
“I don’t think so…. I just can’t see in the dark. I see in the light!”
“Well, I’m very much around when you are in the dark.” Well, I’m very much around when you are in the dark.
Really? “Really?”
“Would I lie. am God, you know?” Would I lie? I am God, you know?
“Oh, I didn’t mean to disturb you. But I can’t see you in the dark.”
Hmmm…What are you looking for in the dark? What do you think I look like? Who do you think I am?
“Well, in the church I went to when I was little, I saw a pictureof a big, old man with a long beard on a cloud. My mom said it was you.”

“So what do you look like now?” “So what do you look like now?”
“How do you expect me to recognize you?” “How do you expect me to recognize you?”
“You’re just playing with me!” “You’re just playing with me!”

“Why?” “Why? Where do you walk? What do you do?”

“Well, that’s why I’m looking for you. I need some of your… your compa…compassion. Could I have some of your compassion?
“Gosh, God. I’m hurting.” • “”Gosh, God. I’m hurting.”
Compassion means being fully immersed in the human condition.
