God is. Whatever happens in life. One thing can be counted upon above all else-God is. The being of love from which we all stem will never cease to be. We can do all kinds of things and live through multiple experiences and none of those will undo the Beingness of Being. As an adult woman incest survivor the pieces that I grapple with today are the leftover stories that I took on to save my sanity as a child. Stories of confusion and shame, darkness and a needing to hide. They show up in the most random of places these days. Sometimes coming face to face with them feels like I am being yanked back in time and in the throes of my past experience. Everyone has these kind of experiences but maybe a different flavor. We all have some unhealed wounds from our childhood that eventually call out to the light. I find it reassuring when I hit one of these bumps to know that the Great Light stays lit even when I think I have fallen into darkness. All I need to do is reach out for God’s hand and get my heart-light relit so I can endure through to the remembrance of myself as also a being of light and love.
My prayer for us is the courage to find ways to continue to endure no matter the outside circumstances or internal strifes by reaching out to the Light that never goes out.
If God’s light is always lit, what can you do today to connect with that light so that you might endure and be able to shine your light from within you again? Share in the comments.
