God is here. The mystifying awareness of my daily meditations with God is that God is not only full present but there is nowhere else God would rather me than with me. God is aware of the righteousness of this moment and the perfection of it cannot be surpassed. I wish I could say the same for myself. Sometimes being present in my own skin can feel alarming and uncomfortable. After spending so many years ignoring my body and escaping into another place in my mind, choosing to be right here, right now takes courage and strength. As an incest survivor those tactics were most essential for survival and I am grateful for them, but I am not that little girl anymore and I desire to be fully present in my life today. I want to appreciate the gifts of the moment. I want to rectify my experience of the present moment by seeing it through God’s eyes. Little by little in my daily process of recovery I reach for the rectitude of being present in this moment. God gives me the power to be right here, right now by being with me. God is always ready to show me the preciousness of this moment where love is fully expressed. If God is willing, then I can be willing too. Right now is where time and space are irrelevant so there is no past and no future for which to concern myself. I am free to sit in the rectitude of the moment with God by my side.
My prayer for us is the gift of rectitude in reclaiming the power of being present to love in whatever form in our lives right here right now.
If God is willing to show you the rectification of gifts of love in this moment, what might you be willing to let go of from the past or future to meet God where you are physically right now? Share in the comments.
