The man whispered, "God, speak to me." And a meadowlark sang. But the man did not hear.
So the man yelled "God, speak to me." And the thunder rolled across the sky. But the man did not listen.
The man looked around and said, "God let me see you." And a star shined brightly. But the man did not notice.
So, the man cried out in despair, "Touch me God, and let me know you are here." Whereupon God reached down and touched the man....
But the man brushed the butterfly away and walked on.
Don't miss out on a blessing because it isn't packaged the way that you expect.

A dear friend sent this to me today, and I thought, Wow! How true...we tend to "package" God up only in the way we believe and conceive Him to be in our minds...How could we possibly determine how God chooses to move and speak at any point in time? We can miss out on many blessings by these preconceived packaged notions.
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:8,9
"Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near." Isaiah 55:6
