Children are such a gift to watch as they learn.  Their fascination with all the little pieces and elements of things is a mirror of the same fascination that God has for every part of who we are.  Given the intricacies with which the Great Creator placed in the design of each thing created, wouldn’t it makes sense that Spirit had the same intention when all of our cells were created?  That would mean that God put forth great investment to make sure that every part of our being was designed in and for love.  Right down to our tippy-toes.  If that is the case, I need not look further than where my feet are to find love.  Maybe it is even right here, right now.  In the words of Van Halen, “Right now is everything.”  In this moment I have the capacity to experience the greatest of all experiences–LOVE.  Right now is the time to embrace all that I AM and all that You ARE because it is within our being.  When I am not seeing or experiencing love, it is simply because I have forgotten who I AM and where I AM and the intricacies of the design.  Then I can reach for God and say, Show me where you are in this moment.  Show me LOVE in the present.  I need to be shown because it often presents itself in forms that I do not immediately perceive as love.  Growing up I had  a strong affinity for a song that I heard in church, “Here I AM Lord.”  It is a song that asks to be shown who I AM and wonders if it me that is being called to love and live the expression.  Through the course of the song it acknowledges being called by God and agreeing to follow where one is led.  I still remember being in 2nd grade as I watched the 8th grade class of students sing the song in the auditorium as a part of their graduation celebration.  It is a song that was placed in my heart.  One of the lines says, “I will go Lord, if you lead me.  I will hold your people in my heart.”  I think we are all called to this experience of life.  To be lead to love.  Ultimately it is the path home to our hearts.  My prayer for us today is that we be willing to be shown and lead in the path of love and open to whatever form or shape that takes.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
