God Almighty who commands the heavens and the earth is calling to you. The call comes in many forms and shapes. It comes from within you. It is a calling to dwell in God. It is a calling to slow down and hear the message of love that God has imprinted on our hearts. The invitation comes as a whisper. It is like the subtly of feeling the wind on your skin. Unless you stop to pay attention to it, you will not feel it. When God and I have our date time together God does not scream in my ear. God waits for me to sit quietly and then speaks to my heart through words that I read, the sound of my breath or the simple beating of my heart. A picture comes to mind, a sense of peace flows through me, and sometimes it seems as though nothing happens at all. Some days I must be satisfied that I did my part and showed up. If I go into our date with an expectation of a result then I am missing the point. The point is to be with my creator. The point is to dwell in the closeness of time and space with the One who knows me through and through and accepts all of me even when I don’t. It is the gift of a time during the day to just be. Dwelling in the presence of God means being with myself exactly as I am in this moment and knowing it is okay, it is enough, and I am loved. No wonder I couldnt’ wait for it to be over when I first started. I no more wanted to sit still with myself then I wanted to be plagued with hiccups. I’d spent my whole life running from myself and avoiding getting to know myself deep down because I feared I was as horrible and dark as I had felt in specific circumstances of my life. It did not matter that those circumstances no longer existed, I had repeated the story of what I made them mean so many times in my head I believed they were who I am. But the hope in my soul drew me to spend this time each day and eventually it got easier. It is that same light of hope that God had built within me at my very conception and it was calling me to dwell nearer to my God. I am so glad I do for today. My prayer for us today is that we be willing to latch on to the hope in our soul calling us to dwelling with God and ourselves. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
