I found my missing sock. It was protecting a spiral-paper-holder-thingy. I completely forgot about it up until that point, and I must say...I missed it quite a bit. I paired the lonely sock up immediately with it's match, they're happy now.
I think most of the time God is the 'Missing sock' in our lives. We don't pay attention to it until we need it. We don't realize how long it's been missing until we want to wear it. We don't seek God until we need desperately need Him. Truth is, we always need God; we're nothing on our own. And, similar to that, we also need socks. But sometimes we replace socks with sandals, like we replace God with material things. Or we just get another sock, like how we seek other things for help.
And the crazy thing is, God is OK with that. He doesn't cut us off from Him. Usually, He puts something in our lives to realize exactly how much we need Him. He keeps saving us though we fail Him every day. He keeps our hearts alive though we search for substitutes.
Now, it's okay to have missing socks, I have thousands of them...I think I do, anyway. But don't forget, God's always there, even when your socks aren't.
It's amazing how the little things in life can change your point of view.
Just like missing socks.
