Love Is Right Here

Funny things are everywhere.

Because you do not see it
you may not notice it.
But make no mistake,
love is right here.
And where there is love,
God dwells.

The next time you stumble
do not bother to get up
until you notice the love
in which you’ve landed,
and that love now
all over you.

You have not come here to profit,
yet your prosperity depends
upon learning to recognize God,
then sharing this love indiscriminately
with everything you touch.
