We open our eyes to a whole new world when we ask God to help see as God sees.  We awaken our hearts to the truest sense of reality when we ask God to align our thinking with God’s thinking.  We enliven our spirits when we surrender to the love that God has for us and recognize it as being with us at all times when we are willing to return to it.  I know that when I am walking through a difficult emotional experience, physical pain, or find my default mode as one of irritation, it is hard to remember the truth of who I am or anyone else for that matter.  I cannot by my own will make room for the sight of love because my perception is clouded by the outer appearance of things not being what I want them to be.  I need God’s help.  When I become attached to the form I forget that which created it.  When I become mesmerized by what I believe I will feel as a result of obtaining a certain outcome or having a certain thing, I forget to enjoy the journey.  I not so sure it is about not becoming attached or mesmerized or if that is possible, but rather about noticing when it happens and utilizing it as the opportunity to return to center.  I believe life is about learning and if humility is being teachable, then sometimes the most opportune time to learn is when I’ve gone somewhere my heart does not truly want to go.  When I wake up to the incompleteness of the form that I worked so hard to obtain, I am willing to take up God’s opportunity to learn a different way.

My prayer for us is a willingness to learn from all that happens in our lives and see those happenings as opportunities to be reminded to return to God today.

If we are given limitless opportunities to return to love, how might you like God to gently guide you back to your heart today?  Share in the comments.
