God's presence among us
modern parable
The movie Laura goes something like
this. A young woman, Laura, is killed in
her apartment. A young detective, Mark
MacPherson, is assigned the case.
He combs her apartment for clues. He
even reads her letters and diary. Then
something strange happens. As he
studies her apartment and reads her
letters and diary, he finds himself falling
in love with her.
Then one night while he is in her
apartment pondering the case, he falls

asleep. A few minutes later a sound
awakens him. He looks up. Standing in
the doorway is a beautiful woman. It's
Laura.
She had gone off for a weekend of quiet
and knew nothing of the event. The
victim, whose face was disfigured in the
tragedy, had asked Laura to use her
apartment in her absence.
The film ends with Laura and Mark falling
in love, marrying, and living happily ever
after.
That movie--intended or not--is a parable
of how God intends us to fall in love with
him by reflecting on the universe (God's
"apartment") and the Bible (God's "diary
and "letters").
_______
What in our univesre or the Bible
awakens in me a desire to seek God
with all my heart?
