God of all graciousness is enchanted with us all. We are the creations, the fruition of God’s love made manifest in the Universe. Who wouldn’t be allured by that? Just because we don’t see that in ourselves or each other does not change what God sees. It is in surrendering the idea that there is something wrong with us that we do not see like God that we become open to learning how to do so. The problem is not that we do not embody more of God’s nature and way of being. The problem is that we think that there is something we need to do to overcome it ourselves. We only need to be willing to recognize what is present and real for us and if it is not of God or God-thinking, then be willing to be revived to true reality. I know that when I make myself wrong for things, I am utilizing a way of being that I took as a coping skill to make sense of reality. A reality of fear based on the idea that there must be someone to blame. It is a tool that I have utilized for many years and I really believed that it worked for me for a long time. As I have gotten to know God better through our dates, I realized that anything driven from fear lacks love. Anything that lacks love cannot grow to fullness. Anything that is not able to grow to fullness cannot shine the light of truth. Anything that cannot shine the light of truth does not make manifest the love of God. What I do know is that when I engage in the conversation (mostly just in my own head, of course) that I am wrong for thinking or feeling something, a few things are happening. One, I am no longer in the present moment and have separated from God. Two, I am focused more on myself as an individual and have separated myself from others and from God. Three, I am taking my thinking as the final word and have separated myself from God’s thinking. None of these modes will get me to a place of peace because they are all separating me from the very being that wants to be with me. With all of me. My prayer for us today is when we find ourselves in the space of self-judgment we have the courage to pause and ask for God to intervene, revive our thinking, and bring us back home. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
