Looking for Signs

As an investigator, I remember looking for signs that there was a God. I remember thinking that if God really existed, He would show me somehow. I looked and looked, yet there wasn't really anything that stood out to me. And then I realized the truth. 

There are signs everywhere. The first breath of a newborn baby. The way the sun comes over the mountains  in the morning. The perfect shape of a flower. These are small things in the everyday world that astound me. I know they are proof that Heavenly Father exists and loves us enough to create such a beautiful world. 

When people asked Jesus for a sign of His greatness, for a sign of proof of His power, they did not even realize that proof was all around them. 

Seeking signs of proof is a sign of disbelief. By asking for proof, it shows that one does not believe in the first place. To ask for proof in the sign of a blue dove or a lightening strike, one is saying they cannot believe until the see something out of the ordinary or something unattainable. This is not showing our Heavenly Father that we want to believe in Him, it is showing Him that we are doubtful, that we need something ridiculous to prove to us something that already is proven. 

We might overlook the small details in life that show us the care and love that Heavenly Father has for us, but this is no reason to doubt.
