God is before all.  God is after all.  God is under all.  God is over all.  Wherever we turn the presence of love is right there.  Wherever we hide the gift of life is hiding with us.  We think if we run far enough or hide deep enough we will disappear.  We believe that we need to run and hide.  We came from the Great Creator who designed us from love to live in light.  When we work so hard to do the opposite we wear ourselves out.  Any time we attempt to go against our inherent nature we are living in struggle and disease.  We have all had things happen to us at some point in our lives that were difficult and painful.  This is part of the human experience.  The difficult and painful situation however do not define us.  They cannot.  We existed before they did and we exist long after those experiences have passed.  As an incest survivor I spent a lot of my life certain that there was something very wrong with me.  For many years I had no idea why I simply wanted to hide and felt I needed to protect myself from others, especially men.  I thought if anyone knew how much darkness existed inside of me they would stay far away and actually that would be better because I didn’t want to get hurt again.  I almost killed myself believing this false story.  I got disconnected on a deep level of belief from remembering that before any of that happened I was breathed into life by the most powerful force of love.  Not once has God confirmed my illusions of myself.  God always comes to me from a space of love and admiration of the light within me.  God always wants to utilize circumstances to get me to recognize that light and love within me.  In fact, even the most heinous of circumstances has become the catalyst through which I can be reunited with my true self as God sees me.  My mind has been opened and I now see that the thing I was running from about myself, the situation that I coated with years of denial and sugar and weight is the very thing in opening to the light that has set me free.  It sounds preposterous unless you have experienced the miracle of grace that comes from ultimately understanding that nothing outside of yourself can change who you are by your Creator.  My prayer for us today is that we take the time to connect inside to the light that we see as darkness and free ourselves to remember who we truly are in the eyes of our Creator.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
