The things we use most often we keep close. The people who are most important in our lives we keep close. The dreams and ideas we have we keep utmost in our minds. Is it possible that the reason our heart is within arms reach of our brain is because they are meant to be kept close together? Is it possible that we are kept close to God because we are important to him? Have you ever taken for granted something that was always just there? Maybe that is what we do sometimes with the things that are most easily within reach. Sometimes we just need a little wake-up call to be reminded that we are more than what we perceive inside our heads and that our realm of influence extends beyond us. Whatever it is we are most in need of is never far from reach. This is where God makes manifest his love for us–in the simple, in the quiet, in the easy to forget. That is why the moment we choose to turn towards God, God is right there. God is always within reach. My prayer for us today is that we open our eyes to the gifts right in front of us and the gifts within us. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
