[vallalargroups:3044] It's All Within

deer-story.jpg
           Once there was a beautiful deer who spent each day prancing in the woods. Each day the deer noticed a wonderful smell. It smelt better than rain, it smelt better than flowers, in fact thought the deer, "I have never smelled anything so enchantingly wonderful! I wonder where that smell is coming from?!" She began to sniff around, "Sniff, sniff. Maybe this perfume is coming from inside the tree!" She ran over to the tree, but it just smelt like a normal tree.
     The deer tried everything, she chased and smelled everything she could find, "Is it coming from the butterflies? Sniff, sniff, sniff.... hmmmm no not from them. I wonder if it's coming from the robin! Sniff, sniff, sniff.... hmmm not there either. I doubt it but is it coming from the swamp? Sniff, sniff, sniff. Oh! Noooo it's not coming from there. Hmmmm maybe it's coming from the ravine or maybe the bushes! Sniff, sniff, sniff sniff." The scent wasn't coming from any of these things. Where do you think it was coming from?
     The deer ran and ran and ran everywhere and started to get tired. She searched so hard but she didn't give up, "I'll find it, it's got to be coming from somewhere!" Even though she was really exhausted, she ran and ran and ran more smelling everywhere. "My body can't keep up but I must find where that wonderful scent is coming from." Her body was slowing down but she kept trying and trying and trying. Then finally she couldn't try anymore. Her body couldn't move anymore and she collapsed on the ground. 
     When she fell on the ground, she wanted to search more but since her body couldn't move, she had to take a nap. Then all of the sudden she smelt something, "That's it! That's the scent! That's what I've been trying to find, It's right here! That's it for sure!" But where was it coming from? She instantly realized something very beautiful, "Oh my goodness! It's coming from within me. It's been 'right here' all along."
     Yes, it was coming from herself. That is how God is. People think that God is somewhere outside. God is within us... never away from us... inside us.... all around us. After searching and searching, we finally understand that the Lord of the Universe has been 'Right Here' all along.
