God lights all the world through the power of love.  Our existence is an expression of the love of God. We do not have to do anything to make this happen.  If ever there is a question in our minds of our worthiness we must realize we are asking the wrong question.  We are worthy of being an expression of love because we were created.  The question is whether or not we are embracing our role as an expression of God.  Am I being the channel of God’s love for myself and others?   Have I let go of my agenda for the situation I am walking into right now and agreed to allow God to work through me?  In the spiritual path of the 12 steps there is a description of how to start one’s day that includes setting out our plans for the day in the morning and asking God to show us where we might be useful.  It is not about not having plans or ideas of how we want things to go but not being attached to them.  There is a trust that as an expression of God, God is with us every moment, every step of the day.  Whatever we encounter, even when it doesn’t go our way, we can trust in our ultimate purpose being fulfilled.

My prayer for us is the courage to walk in the knowledge of ourselves as an expression of love in every situation and interaction today.

If being an expression of love means that no matter what happens today you can be successful, how would you like God to show you what it means to be that expression in your own heart?  Share in the comments.
