Lord, today I have sought Your Face

Lord, where are you? I want to see you! A thousand times I repeat the same thing but ... Why not find an answer?

On one occasion a young man had the desire to climb to the summit of a mountain, he thought there he could see the face of the Lord.
He prepared everything necessary, and one day at dawn began his great adventure to get to the slopes of the vast mountain. He ran into an old man who lived in a little old hut and the man asked him, "Where are you going with such hurry and excitement? ".
The young man replied, "the summit of this mountain, for in it I hope to see the face of the Lord."
The old man said: "Why dont you stay a moment with me and help me repair my hut it is falling and as you see I'm already too old and I cant not do it alone, and when we finish you can resume your adventure."
The young man replied, "Sorry, old man, but I can not, I'm late, but when I returnd I will be glad to help you."
After a couple of hours the young man reached the summit of the mountain, and with great spirit cried, "Lord, where are you? I want to see You? Where are you? "A thousand times he repeated the same questions but no reply. The young man saw his failure and sadly left the area.
On his way back again he passed by the hut, which was completely broken and the old man was no longer there. With out caring, he continued on his way.
Soon, he found a church and decided to go in and discuss what happened with the Lord. In front of the altar he exclaimed: "Lord, this morning I sought your face and did not find it. And the Lord said, "Today, I also asked you for help ... and I did not find it"
