When I really get down to it there are two constants in my life. God and me. God is everywhere and in everything. I am always with me. No matter how much I try to escape myself–wherever I go, there I am. ;). So, even if it is not what I want, it is what I am to be. The beauty of both being prevalent in every moment of my life is that I am never alone. With both me and God always being present I am not limited by my own perspective and experiences. I have this power that is greater than me to connect with, to come home to in my heart, to be opened and loved by. God never leaves me, even when I want to leave me. The Creator is never truly separated from his/her creation. When we create something out of ourselves a piece of us is always with it. So even in those moments when I feel separate from God or disconnected, I can be reassured that it is not true because it is not possible. God’s light and love always prevails. I often think of it as a flame that burns within my heart. Sometimes it is turned down really low, just a flicker, but that doesn’t mean it is not there. I may need to connect with someone else whose light is a little brighter. They can show me how they keep their flame going, they can use their light to help me see my way back to mine. We are all connected, it only appears that we are separate and different. The same beloved Creator who designed me, also designed you and with the same amount of love. When I believe the lie that we are not connected I am not allowing that light within me to shine as brightly as possible. I love what Marianne Williamson said, “as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.” By letting my light shine I become a representation of the prevailing presence of God. My prayer for you today is that you may connect to the light of all light that resides in your heart and let it shine. Someone somewhere today needs to see the light of God that is alive in you. That someone may be you. Will you prevail? Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
