Whenever we use the word "where", we would be referring to a location or a place or a destination.
So with that word, we would tell others where we are staying, where we are going, where we have placed certain things or where certain things can be found.
In the 1st reading, the Lord God called out to the man with this question: Where are you?
The man and his wife had sinned against the Lord God by eating of the forbidden fruit.
The Lord God could have gone straight to the matter and asked: What have you done?
But in asking the question "Where are you?" it implies that the Lord God wanted to make the first move towards the man.
The Lord God wanted to offer the man reconciliation rather than pronounce a condemnation.
The Lord God is more merciful and compassionate than we can ever expect.
We see that in the gospel when Jesus multiplied the meagre bread and the fish to feed the four thousand people.
Let us not hide ourselves from God's mercy and compassion. Our sin makes us doubt God.
God is more loving than we think or expect. With His love, we will know where we are and what the will of God is for us.
