In a world that is full of life and expressions of creativity it is hard to image that anything but benevolence occurs.  We are designed by and for love and when we own that birth right and live it fully, we extend ourselves to others in kindness.  I used to think that kindness was something one was required to do because it was the right thing to do. That was at a time in my life when I could not see the benevolence that existed within me.  As I began to spend more date time with God I saw that being kind is an extension of my fullness of being because that is how I am created.  We are all equipped with the ability to be kind because it is the truth of who we are in God.  When I think I am separate from God, it becomes an obligation.  I am not saying that I always “feel” like being kind.  But living is more than just feeling, it is being.  If I am in alignment with my truest self,  I cannot help extend that self of love to others and to myself.  When I am out of alignment, missing the mark (sin), it becomes some sort of moral obligation by which good girls abide.  My prayer for us today is that when we find ourselves wanting to withhold kindness that we stop and ask God for the willingness to be our true selves.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
