God always shows up!  God is present at all times.  God is presence at all times.  Life is about showing up and being present in the moment.  When we are able to do that we find ourselves able to do things we would not normally be able to do because we are full present where God is.  Living takes courage.  Loving takes courage.  As humans we are often fearful and anxious and whether it is related to anything specific or not, it does not matter. Our minds tend to bend in that direction.  Scientists would explain that it is our cave man brain that is in this state because during those times, we were never quite sure what was around the corner.  Our very survival depended upon us being able to focus on the possible disasters and threats to our life.  Today we do not face nearly the kind of dangers that we faced then, but parts of our brain still have that inclination.  It is curious also to note that in the Hebrew and Christian scriptures, God is often quoted as instructing His people to “Be Not Afraid” and “Do Not Fear”.  God knows that we go to those places and God loves us still the same.  God uses those moments and experiences of fear and anxiety to invite us to choose the courage to live and love.  God does not necessarily make it go away, but encourages us to choose the power of presence anyway.  The valor required to show up despite how we feel or what we think is one of the most powerful actions we can do.  When we choose life and love, despite the thoughts or feelings of otherwise, we are choosing to be with the Eternal.  We are choosing to trust that we are more than our feelings and our thoughts.  We are choosing our birthright of an alignment with God that surpasses our current physical state of being.  My prayer for us today is that we seize upon the times of fear and uncertainty as an access point to practice choosing life and love (God) and witness for ourselves just how powerful the presence of God really is.  Make it a great one!
