As I grow closer in my relationship with God my sense is that God longs to hold me.  It sounds funny because God isn’t necessarily in human form, but that is sometimes how I picture it. It is an embrace of warmth and kindness, acceptance and profound love.  Sometimes I imagine that hold as a loving parent. Other times it is like a lover from behind.  Either way it conjures up an experience of intimacy and acceptance.  It is especially at times when I may not even want to hold me.  Then I know it does not come from me in my mind.  Sometimes it is not a literal hug but rather a brushing of the skin from the air that lets me know of Presence.  I have given up on trying to define God as one thing or another as God is beyond my understanding. What I do know is that if I am open to being held in a space of love my heart grows stronger and I can pass on that feeling of loving embrace to others.  My prayer for us today is that we be open to what it would mean to be held by God-literally, figuratively or otherwise.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
