God is all-encompassing. God is benevolent. God is one. We are invited to be in relationship with the One who surpasses all understanding. We are given multiple opportunities throughout the day to be embraced by the Great Spirit. Sometimes we recognize these embraces as grand gestures but more often they occur as small seemingly insignificant moments. As we go through our day we may notice something that makes us smile. We may think of someone for whom we care. We are caught off guard by another’s gesture of kindness. We feel the wind on our skin. We remember a time when we felt in the flow of life. We get an insight into an interaction with another that allows us to let go of some negative thinking. These are all small ways that we experience the embracing of God. God is so in love with his creation that he cannot help but express love in as many ways as possible all throughout the day. We often miss it because we were waiting for the grand demonstration and proof. We get sidetracked by thinking we know how God will show up in any given situation. God revels in being able to express the embrace of love in unexpected ways so we can be surprised and touched directly in our hearts. My prayer for us today is that we let go of how we think God will embrace us today and be open to the unexpected touch of love in our hearts. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
