God is in all.  God created all.  God abides in all. This vast array of conglomeration that we call the human experience are full of so much love and light.  The difficulty arises when our eyes are no longer open to that love and light.  Our vision becomes clouded and we only see what separates us.  When we look at people and situations all we see is what is physically happening.  We have lost sight of other’s hearts and spirits.  I tell myself that you are the reason I am suffering.   I convince myself that if my circumstances were different I would feel different.  But nothing is going on outside of me that is not already happening inside of me.  My reality is a projection of my mind.  Just think of how dark and cloudy the world looks when you are in a bad mood versus how wonderful and loving people seem when you are in a good mood.  The people and situations are only different because the lens through which you are seeing them is different.  When I am in a space of being angry, I experience strife. When I am in a space of being fearful, I experience anxiety and doubt. When I am in a space of being loving, I experience love.  I learned years ago that the quickest way for me to have a different experience is to act differently and the thinking and the feelings will follow.  God makes room for all of these experiences.  One is not better than the other but some have more peace than others.  Some perceptions make me want to be included in this vast array of the human experience, others want me to remain separate.

My prayer for us is the courage to ask God to change our perceptions so that we might experience being included in peace today.

If you could be included in an experience of love and peace, how might you see the circumstances you are about to walk into today?  Share in the comments.
