God’s magnitude of love that directs the entire universe cannot be contained in our heads.  The greatest act we can take is a surrender to the love of God and be enveloped by it.  Instead of judging ourselves for not being loving in a given situation, we can acknowledge that we neglected to let go and take on another point of view.  In that moment where we lacked a loving response we were holding on to the idea that the best response would come only from our heads.  I think of it as moments when I forgot to pause, take a breath and drop my thinking from my head into my heart.  It is in my heart that another possibility awaits.  Our hearts bear the signature of God.  It is a relief to know that to reach another perspective all it takes is a breathing pause and a redirection of attention.

My prayer for us is the gift of the pause so that we may be willing to let go of our head’s response and breathe in another response from our hearts today.

If you believe God designed your heart with all the knowledge of love, would you be willing to pause to connect with its possibilities today? Share in the comments.
