God is ever-engaging, ever-relating, and ever-loving! God invites us to the oneness of life by creating us from the oneness of love. We are part of the whole. We are not separate. That is a belief that we take on when we embody a physical material reality. We only think we are separate. In the Course in Miracles it says we have only one problem, the belief that we are separate from God. From that extends all our other problems. St. Augustine of Hippo relays the same idea when he says “our hearts are restless until they rest in You.” We have this longing to return to the wholeness, the oneness that we know in our spirits. One could argue that this the mission and the purpose we are called to in this life–to remember who we are one of the whole. This is why we only hurt ourselves when we continue to go along with the idea of others being different or separate from us. It does not hurt the other person when we are angry with them, it hurts us because who we are being is estranged from the heart of oneness with us and the other person. The good news is that it is just a thought that is repeated and we can choose to take on other thoughts and repeat them. My prayer for us today is that we offer up one of our ideas of how we are separate to God and ask for the courage to embrace the oneness and connectedness that we do not see with our human eyes. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
