I maintain that if you're looking for him, you'll find him. It will never be in the areas that you expect. But I have somebody close to me in my life right now that's been looking through all these different religions. I was like, you know what? God's revealing himself to you because you're searching for him. Bible says, knock and it'll be open to you to seek and you'll find. You don't have to get in the Bible to find God, but it'll help. But anybody that's searching, keep an open mind.
