God is eager.  Our capacity to love is bursting from inside of us.  It resides in all that we are and all that we can be.  Embracing this reality strangely enough is not something we do readily.  We have become so convinced that such reality is of dreams.  Could we possibly be created out of love, for love, in love to grow in love? Somewhere along the way as our human story played out and we experienced the opposite of love, it made more sense for that to be our reality.  Here is where God laughs.  A circumstance cannot undue God.  A situation cannot unmake our true reality.  Those situations and circumstances are merely exciting invitations to grow in love, to find love, to reunite ourselves with our hearts.  It seems backwards in our thinking because we do not see things as God does.  In my daily meditation date with God I am blown away at the excitement that God has in seeing me grow in love.  God does not wish unfortunate circumstances to occur.  However, when I remember to take God’s hand and asked to be shown where the love is in them, God excitedly takes my hand and shows me my heart.

My prayer for us is the willingness to excitedly take the hand of God when love seems most absent and ask, where is the love in this God?

If God gets excited about our growth in love from all circumstances, how can God take your hand in your life today to show you your heart?  Share in the comments.
