One of the wonderful things about God is that through God’s eyes we can see the benefit of all experiences.  Using only my mind to measure experiences I look at good vs. bad, waste of time vs. good use of time, right vs. wrong.  God looks at situations and sees growth vs. stagnation, love vs. invitation to love, tenderness vs. recognition of resistance to love.  God asks us as we experience things to evaluate them based on the standards within our hearts not our mind. But when our ego is running the show, it rarely stops to pause and consult the heart and the spirit.  When my ego and judgment are running amuck and I am not at ease, I pause at the recognition of disease and ask God for help, to be open to seeing this very experience as worthwhile.  My prayer for us today is that we use our language of waste or stupid or bad as an invitation to ask for God’s perspective on how that very thing is worth our presence in the moment for what we can learn from it.  Make it a great one!
