" It’s that way with God. He’s there, patiently waiting for us. He assures us, “I did not say . . . , ‘Seek Me in vain’” (Isa. 45:19). Why, then, do we often have trouble finding Him? Probably because we are looking in all the wrong places.
You’ll find Him right where He is supposed to be—in His Word, in prayer, and in the voice of the Holy Spirit who lives within you. The God who says “seek, and you will find” (Matt. 7:7) also promises that “He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” (Heb. 11:6). So, you can rejoice that God is right where He is supposed to be, and He’s waiting for you right now. "
I was so amazed (to the max) when I opened my internet browser and found this. because this is exactly, exactly, what had happened to me today. I thought I'd lost my most precious treasure.. gone into hiding?..for what felt so, so torturing-ly long. But I was led to the correct lost-and-found counter, and I found it. Really, right there, ready for collection.

the everlasting treasure.
