God is freedom.  A relationship with God is our ticket to the freedom that our spirit craves.  Some people think that a dependence upon a power greater than themselves puts them in bondage.  By all accounts it may look that way, but things are rarely what they seem.  My daily meditation dates with God are the way I start my day because it liberates me from being a slave to my thinking mind.  Our minds are beautiful but they are non-stop.  One thought after another, judgments, ideas, questions, connections to old thoughts come like a barrage.  It barely leaves time to breathe.  After a while I buy into all the thoughts and repeat them which forms beliefs.  These beliefs are based on what occurred during a specific circumstance but given my mind’s ability to automate, it sees it as an opportunity to make me more efficient.  In survival mode efficiency is key. It is not lively or liberating in terms of enjoying life. My liberation is in being in the new moment.  Time to pause and to breathe and be present is what it means to be a human being.  Liberating myself by acknowledging that I am not my mind is my gateway to honoring and respecting all the parts of this human journey.

My prayer for us is the willingness to take some meditation time with God and set in motion our liberation.
