God of All Creation longs to be as close to us as possible.  God’s desire for closeness to us is embedded in our own hearts.  The longing that we feel for love and to be love comes from this fire within us that calls us to the Divine.  This calling that is in our nature is by design.  We find fulfillment and purpose when we are aligned with our true self which is who we are in God.  It is easy to forget this because for most of us it has been a while since we have been pure energetic spirit.   When we take form there is a disconnect because we find ourselves simultaneously this grand spirit trapped in a physical body that is limited. But our hearts and our souls know our true selves are not limited.  The heart and the spirit knows that we are no further from God than we ever were, it just feels that way.  When we experience a reconnection with God we know it.  We sense the divine spark within us light up. We know it when we see it in others and we are inspired by it.  That is the work of the Holy Spirit–Inspiration–to remind us of who we are connected to.  But sometimes we get lost because we think it is the form that we want or that will enable us to keep that connection. In my dates with God as I sit in my meditation chair, as I write down my thoughts and turn them over, and as I reflect on the words in spiritual books I am slowly calibrated back to an understanding that I am connected.  There are times when I feel that in that specific moment, but other times it comes out of nowhere.  Sometimes all I have to do is stop, breathe, look at the clouds in the sky and sense the soft comfort that God is trying to wrap me in.  I have always had a relationship with God but it is only in the years that I have dedicated consistently to showing up each morning to meet God for our date that I have noticed this entire shift in my perspective.  There are no words to explain but I hear God in the whispers of the wind and the light of the sun.  It is as though I see God’s hand reaching down to my heart and beckoning me: Come to me now .  So I do my best to open my heart and let myself be touched by the presence of the Almighty because there is nowhere to hide and nowhere to run.  The miracle of it all is that I don’t want to anymore.  My prayer for us today is that we be willing to take the time to be calibrated by listening to the call and allowing ourselves to open our hearts to the Divine.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
