God is empathy.  God is compassion.  God is understanding.  We are invited into relationship with the power greater than ourselves that not only embodies all the qualities that we desire to have but also those we are already live.  The distinction is in the fact that God is not limited by the qualities of human nature.  We however think that the only elements of life at our disposal are those that are limiting.  Because we cannot fathom a way of being that is beyond ourselves, we settle for what we know.  When we accept God’s invitation to be in relationship we open ourselves up to experience and know on a deeper level that we need not be limited either.  In the connection with God we come to experience the limitless nature of God’s grace.  As a recipient of the grace of God, I can tell you first hand that there is no experience like it.  It is like having fairy dust sprinkled on top of a grey cloud and watching it dissipate as though it had never existed.  The gift of the graciousness of God is thus far the greatest miracle of my life. I did what I learned in 12 steps to pray for my father so that my actions were in contradiction of my thinking.  Then one day for no reason I realized  I was no longer in fear or anger of a man who molested me as a child.  The one that I unconsciously blamed for a sense of terror and lack of safety growing up became the one who taught me what it means to love.  It was then that I knew that God could do the impossible.  My prayer for us is a willingness to imagine that God’s graciousness is available to us if we do our part and are willing to experience it today.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
