I think the funniest part of my human experience is when I think I am hiding something from God.  As if that were possible.  How could the all-knowing, omnipotent and loving creator not be aware of something?  Just because I think God is not in tune with something does not make it so.  Just because God isn’t acting or doing things the way I would like does not mean he/she/it is not aware of what is happening.  It just means that God is not acting the way I would like God to act.  In other words, God is not being me.  Rather arrogant of me, huh?  Yes, my ego can be a bit big for its bridges. Not that any of this thinking is conscious, which makes it all the more difficult at times to discover.  The real gift comes in recognizing it and then exposing it to God.  When I can say, “By the way, I have been a little disappointed because this is happening or not happening,  can you show me how You see this?”  Then I need to get quiet and listen for God’s wisdom, God’s caring, and God’s reiteration that He has got it.  I am convinced that God gets a real good laugh out of watching me spin my wheels.  Not in a vindictive way, but rather like a loving parent who gets joy out of seeing their child strive for something.  It is when I am experiencing suffering over it, I am certain that God’s heart is breaking and he is hoping before long that I will bring it to Him so he can give me peace.  How does God bring me peace?  By letting me know that I am not alone, that it is not as bad and my mind is making it out to be.  He reminds me that even though I am frustrated with myself, with life and perhaps with His plan that He is still completely enamored of me.  The beauty of being willing to be exposed to God is that I can be shown where there is beauty in a place of darkness, discomfort and pain.  I am convinced that God only sees what is good and I need to be reminded that all things can be turned for the good.  Because God is good and there is no place that God is not.  How have you seen good (God) in places of darkness in your life?  My prayer for you today is that you have the courage to go to God and expose to him that which you might even be hiding from yourself .  That you receive the peace that surpasses all peace and the the beauty of whatever you are experiencing can be revealed.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
