God of All has endowed us with the power of choice. God created us for and by love but it is up to us to choose love. It is in that power of choice that we own the gift that has been given to us. God gives freely and let’s go of the results by allowing us to choose. We are invited to do the same. Our minds think we want control situations so that they turn out the way we want. That is how the world measures things–by the results. It is only in our part that we can determine whether or not we are showing up. We can control our part. We cannot control the results. So if we only measure ourselves as the world does, by the results, then we may not fare so well. If we measure ourselves by the Spirit we know if things are working by whether or not we are showing up. For me this means being present, choosing love, not abandoning myself, remembering to have faith, being forgiving, focusing on gratitude. If I practice those ways of being which I can control then I am better able to let go of thinking I can or need to control the outcome. If I am fully present in the moment, it is the only moment that I am concerned with and I am in the result. Dating God has taught me that while the world can be alluring and flashy and make it seem like the next best thing is what I want or need, all I need is right here, right now, where God IS. My prayer for us today is that we be willing to let go of the world’s idea of control and focus on what we can control–being present with God in this moment. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
