God resounds. God implores. God abounds. To be aligned with God is to say yes to a calling to live fully. To claim the abundance that is God as part of our human experience is not something easily understood. It seems to go contrary to a number of ideas from various authoritative sources that we are to be simple and small. The confusion stems from not acknowledging that within each of us exists dual natures. Yes we are fully children of an Almighty and Abundant God. And yes we live and inhabit this physical universe that has limitations. The key is to remember which one gets the last word. Given that our creator is the originator of the physical universe, I choose to place my emphasis on the former. There is a line in book Alcoholics Anonymous which simply states, “Either God is everything or he isn’t.” Each moment of our lives is an opportunity to place emphasis on which we believe-that God is either everything or God is not. If I claim to believe that God is everything and I believe that no matter what happens or appears to happen cannot undo God then I can rely upon the opportunity to live fully. I can take the chance that there is something other than the fear story that is running through my mind. God was in existence long before human fear ever appeared on the landscape. The gift of the compassion of God is in God’s awareness of our fearful nature. God does not expect us to not experience fear, but hopes that we will ask for God’s help in moving forward any way. If we emphasize all the reasons there are in our lives to step away or play small because we fear the outcome then we step away from our belief that God is more than our human nature. If we emphasize our belief despite all seeming evidence to the contrary of God being who God has always shown he/she/it to be, then we can courageously step into a full life. My prayer for us is a desire to emphasize our belief in the nature of God as being more powerful than whatever we might fear for one of our decisions today. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
