It is amazing to me the capacity that we all have within our being for love.  We have all had moments when we felt very connected with that capacity for love.  An experience in which we knew on some deeper level that the reason we were feeling so good is because we were connected something that was more than we could have imagined.  We are always connected to Source and when we are at our best the connection is flowing effortlessly through us and around us.  Many of us like this experience so much that we seek it out in as many ways as possible.  Unfortunately, anything that is not actually from Source does not have the same breadth and depth of experience as the real thing.  So, those other ways only work temporarily.  We get lost sometimes thinking that this experience of love comes from outside of ourselves.  But the connection to All That Is is within us.  We need not seek outside of ourselves for the most profound experience of love.  God gently guides us back to ourselves.  The Great Creator created us out of love and for love and does not see us as being less than that at any point in our lives.  Our ego focuses on the physical world because it needs something to identify itself with. Source says I already know who you are, what you are experiencing need not define you.  When we are at our best, we are in our created state.  The gift of a loving God is the acceptance that our best is not static.  For me, the recognition and forgiveness of my best as not meaning perfection but showing up in partnership with God one day at a time, is what allows me to continue to believe that even when I don’t see it, I know that there is love within me.  My prayer for us today is that we allow ourselves the gift of acknowledging that our best today means showing up to today’s moments–as many as we have the courage to do so for. Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
