Each of us has a unique mission in life. It is part of the whole mission of life to be an expression of life.  We are called into being by our creator because we have a crucial role in this mission of love.  We have gifts and talents that are necessary to bring it to fruition.  As we grow in relationship with God we can awaken what those gifts and talents are.  For me the secret has been in embracing my calling.  I did not think that I would be asked to learn and share about love from the perspective of an incest survivor.  I did not think that as a recovering addict and obesity survivor I would have anything worthwhile to share.  Most of my life until I got into recovery was simply about survival.  But when I was willing to truly take the hand of God and be led out of that darkness I began to see the shape and depth of the light of love in the very circumstances of my life that I had grown to begrudge.  Somehow God took even the darkest part of my experience to show me the depth of love.  This is how I have come to be open to how I might be in the service of love in my day when things are not going the way that I want them to.

My prayer for us is a belief that God knows what God is doing when the unwanted circumstances of our lives show up to show us how to love today.

Are you open to the idea that the very element of your life that you wish was not happening is the key to being open to knowing and showing love today? Share in the comments.
