dailydatewithgod

God awakens our senses to an awareness of ourselves and All That Is. God invites me each day on our date to broaden my understanding of what it means to be alive in and in relationship with God.  I am never quite sure how this will show up or what it might look like but it sets a course for my day.  It is as though God is showing me that consciousness comes first and foremost from a recognition of God in all things.  As I go through the day, I hold up my end of the bargain by making an attempt to connect to the presence of God in every person and situation.  This is not easy, but it has gotten easier.  The more I let go of a fixed or preconceived notion of who or what God is, the more I am free to be conscious of God’s presence in the moment.  It is like life holds this constant joyous mystery.  There is a wonderment like of a child who is anticipating what will be under the Christmas tree after Santa has come the night before.  It gives me the courage to want to be conscious of God’s presence in my life and frees me from the thinking that knowing is my safety.

My prayer for us is the courage to let go of our preconceived notions of how God might show up today and enjoy the consciousness of being present to how God will choose to be with us today.

If God could choose to show up in a way that you were consciously open to recognizing, what would it be today?  Share in the comments.
