Every morning without fail the sun rises (okay actually our planet turns so we can see the sun again, but you get the idea). Now, I cannot always see the sun because sometimes it is raining or cloudy but it is still there. And every evening the sun goes down and I am able to see the moon. Every day there is light and dark and then light and dark again. I sometimes wonder if God would be interested in not having the sun come up one day just to see what would happen, lol! Good thing God doesn’t think like I do. It would upset the rhythm of so many things. Without fail that sun is rising every morning. God wants to bring light into our experience, he wants us to see things new again. God consistently shows up, no matter what. That is who God is and to be differently would be to not be God. I have often wondered if maybe God didn’t want us to see something or bring something to light because it would be painful. I believe that God is right there with us in our sorrows, but wants us to see them in the best light possible, so he brings the planet around to the light of the sun. He keeps us warm and enables us to face whatever it is. When I stop to think about it, God is always about bringing light to the situation. Even at night we have the glow of the moon and the stars that are like holes in the darkness. The key to consistency is clarity of purpose. If I know what my purpose is, what my intention is then I am able to show up consistently. If I am still searching for what I am supposed to be doing and who I am then I find it harder to be consistent. God knows who God is and what God does, so it is done consistently. God is many things but a bringer of light to the world is one of those things, so it is done every morning. I don’t have to know all of who I am and what my purpose is but if I connect with God then I can begin to have clarity. So I can be consistent about turning to God every morning because I know that is where I will find the answers. This is what bring me to my date with God every morning. I know that if I keep that committment that I am one step closer to peace, I am connected to myself and to the Creator of Creation. Maybe one of these mornings he will explain to me exactly why he brings the sun up. For now, He reminds me why he thinks that I light up the world–works for me! 🙂 My prayer for you today is for you to see where God consistently shows up in your life–and recognize it as a sign that you are loved and cared for. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
