When all else fades away, God remains. In a world where things are constantly changing it is hard to image that there is a constancy in God that exists, especially when we consider that the sureness of God that exists does not take the form of permanence that we come to think of as permanent. In other words, we come to and understanding of security as those that take specific shape and physical form. As we mature we realize that even those things change and the one that does not isn’t a physical reality. If we think about it too much it can be maddening which is why it is good that the knowing of security in God resides in our hearts and spirits. God invites us to spend time in the space of our hearts so that we might begin to know the realm of the spirit deep within us. As we do that we have less and less attachment to the things of the world upon which we have relied for our security and identity. We are not as threatened when they change or fall away because we are reunited with the security of God in our soul. When God and I have our date time, my eyes are opened to a reality far more secure that the job that I have, the money in the bank, the roof over my head, or the loved ones in my life. So when those things fall away or change, and they will, I do not lose my grounding. My security is not shaken. The process of stepping away from dependence solely on the physical securities offered by this world and relying on the security of God is step by step, day by day, with lots of bumps and curves. It is a continual call to love from the heart and expand my learning so that I might share that love with others. My prayer for us today is that we be open to looking within ourselves to find the security of God that is at the core of who we are and cling to it from our hearts. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
