St. Bernard on Seeking and Finding God

Here is a paradox, that no one can seek the Lord who has not already found Him. It is Thy will, O God, to be found that Thou mayest be sought, to be sought that Thou mayest the more truly be found."  ~Bernard of Clairvaux, 1090-1153

Yet he is not far from each one of us,

for "In him we live and move and have our being."

~Acts 17:28
