The only thing I have found to be constant aside from change is God. Who God is never wavers. My experience of God in more areas of my life as I open my heart up to Him is that area of my life is affirmed in love. I need this solid presence in my life. The firmness of God is not a harshness or a rigid way of being but more of a certainty. I know that I can count on God being their. It is like a backbone. Our bones are firm and solid and provide a structure. So my relationship with God is firm. When all the other things in my life seem to be going amuck and I am riding the wave of life, I need to know that I can come at any moment to a place of firmness. It is there that I am reconnected to who I am and where I come from. I would like to think that I provide that on some level for others in my life. I attempt to be someone who they can count on, but ultimately I will fail them because I am not God and I cannot be their ultimate and reliable experience. I am reminded often that everyone has their own connection to God. It may be one that they are familiar with or one that they are not, but it exists nonetheless. What I can do is be a model of someone who relies on God, who counts on that firmness. In what areas of your life are you certain of the firmness of God? What areas of your life would you like to sense the solidness of God? My prayer for you today is that your eyes be open to the firmness of God in an area of your life that seems chaotic. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
