20250614 - Por que DIOS no se Muestra
- Why Doesn’t God Show Himself Clearly to the World?
- This is one of the most enduring and profound questions in human history. Why would an all-powerful, loving God remain hidden from direct human sight, especially when revealing Himself would be so easy? This question has been asked by philosophers, believers, doubters, and seekers for millennia.
- Here we explore several deeply considered reflections on why God might choose to remain unseen — not as a punishment or trick, but as part of something more mysterious, meaningful, and transformative.
- 🕷️ 1. Freedom Requires Uncertainty
- If God made His existence undeniably clear — for example, by appearing in the sky or speaking in thunder — it could eliminate our real freedom to choose whether to believe, love, or follow Him.
- Faith would no longer be a decision of the heart, but an unavoidable reaction to overwhelming evidence. In such a world, would our love be authentic — or simply fear and submission?
- "Where there is no doubt, there is no room for trust."
- 🌟 2. Faith Is a Path, Not a Shortcut
- Many spiritual traditions teach that faith is not blind belief — it is a decision to walk a path, to grow, to explore, and to mature.
- If God were as visible as gravity or electricity, many would follow out of obligation or fear, not inner transformation. Faith invites personal growth, humility, and the cultivation of inner sight.
- "God doesn’t just want obedience — He seeks relationship."
- 🌈 3. God Reveals Himself Differently
- Perhaps God is not absent — perhaps we’re simply looking in the wrong direction. In many religious and mystical views, God is found in love, beauty, truth, kindness, conscience, and mystery.
- He may not shout, but whisper.
- {a2|"The divine is often found in moments that make us feel more alive, more honest, more connected."}}
- 🌪️ 4. The Weight of Glory
- Spiritual texts often suggest that experiencing God directly, without preparation, would be overwhelming.
- In the Bible, Moses is allowed to see only the "back" of God because to see His full glory would be too much (Exodus 33:20). The idea is not that God is cruel — but that divine reality is too intense for the human mind to fully bear.
- "The sun gives life, but staring directly into it blinds us."
- 🛠️ 5. God is Not an Object in the Universe
- The idea of "proof" comes from science: observation, measurement, repetition. But if God is the source of all being — the ground of existence itself — then He is not one more object within the universe to be studied. He is beyond, beneath, and within all things.
- You can’t see your own eyes without a mirror. Perhaps God is the mirror through which we see everything else — including ourselves.
- 🍃 6. Maybe It's We Who Are Hiding
- Another possibility is that it’s not God who hides, but we who have built walls — of trauma, fear, ego, busyness, or noise. Many mystics say that God is always present, but we are rarely still or quiet enough to notice.
- "To see God, we may need to cleanse our vision, not change the sky."
- ✨ Final Reflection
- Whether or not God appears in a way we expect, the longing to know the divine is a holy desire. It points not to emptiness, but to a deeper truth waiting to be uncovered — sometimes through silence, sometimes through suffering, and often through love.
- If God hides, perhaps it is not to remain unknown, but to invite us to seek with our whole being.
- "God is not far. But we must be willing to walk toward the mystery."
