Perhaps the reason that God created us out of oneness is because God wanted to always keep us close. Perhaps the reason that we can sense God in our spirit and our hearts is because God wants us to sense His nearness at our core. I could spend hours wondering all the whys of God but I find it more fruitful spending time in the presence of God. How I can connect with God at any given moment is all I need to know to maintain that propinquity to God? Some days I connect when I pay attention to my breath. Other days when I come across something that makes me smile. And yet other days it happens when I am moved to tears. When I can sense God in the good, the bad, the ugly, the profound, the simple, the beauty, the discomfort then I know I am close. It matters little how I connect with God only that I do under any circumstance. I have spent plenty of time in my life feeling distanced from God due to my way of seeing things, but ultimately those times served a purpose as well because I can now recognize my dis-ease as a disconnection from my Creator. Those times I spent far away from any real idea of God taught me what it feels like mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically. Now when I come across that familiar sense, I can recognize it for what it is and ask, “Hey God, you still there?” It simply requires an honest admission, “God I cannot see you or sense you but I know that you are All That Is, so open my eyes or mind or heart or whatever within me that has closed off the notion of you being present. Thank you.” My prayer for us today is that we be willing to accept that we sometimes block ourselves from God in ways we don’t imagine and recognize that it gives God a chance to show up in a way that we don’t imagine or recognize if we simply ask. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
Are you willing to let go of your idea of how God is “supposed” to show up so that God will show up as God? Share in the comments by clicking on the number to the right of the title for today.
