When we face times of trial and difficulty it is hard to see the forest through the trees.  Our attention and energy is primarily on what it is that we are working through–the pain, the difficulty. It is in time of difficulty that it is easy to think that we are left to fend for ourselves.  Our discord makes us feel separate and because we feel it, but just because it feels that way, does not mean it is true.  I am not saying that we are to mistrust our feelings, but rather put them in perspective.  Feelings serve as indications, they are not reality. They come as a result of our thinking which is very automatic and programmed from past experience. The reality is that whatever we are walking through today we have more resources than we did last time we walked through difficulty.  More importantly, there is Our Creator who creates out of love and can make this experience one of growth in love, if we are willing to see it from that perspective.  My prayer for us today is that we be open to how whatever difficulty we are experiencing can be an invitation to love more fully and take courage in its disguise.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
