God is the Ultimate. To experience the wholeness and fullness of life we are called to embrace the wholeness of the experience we are living. I can think of a bunch of things I would like to experience one day. And then there are those experiences that seem to happen out of nowhere. Nothing you do can fully prepare you for them. No amount of wishful thinking can make them not happen. Life happens. The degree to which I am able to be in acceptance of the totality of life is directly linked to my judgment of the goodness or worthiness of an experience. This is where I continually bring my thoughts to God and say, “okay, here is what is happening, I don’t like it because as far as I can tell. . . but I am willing to see it differently. Show me how this is an experience that will help me to grow in love. Open my heart and my eyes to embrace the opportunity for growth.” There is sometimes a long pause before the willingness of the second part of the prayer shows up. It depends on how much I am enjoying fighting reality under the guise of “this shouldn’t be happening!” I have been experiencing this a lot in my work place recently and so I have concluded that at the very least, there are multiple openings for God to show me the breadth and depth of love growth that can occur in the everyday experience. For today, I am willing to learn. We will see what tomorrow brings.
Be Of Embracing!
on March 11, 2016My prayer for us is the courage to let go of our agenda and embrace the surprises of growth in love through the ordinary today.
God is willing to guide us through anything and everything that we invite God to. What area of your life might be experienced differently if you embraced God’s offer of guidance today? Share in the comments.
