God is movement. An endearing experience of being human is the constancy of change. I learned change is inevitable. I don’t’ always welcome it and sometimes I resist it but it comes nevertheless. When I remember it is about being in the flow of life I am less resistant. When I remember that God is the other constant I am open to it. When I reflect that all change good or bad according to my perspective at the time has brought me to where I am today. All of my life’s experiences including the ones I was not sure I would make it through, have weaved the progression of who I am today. I cannot know which one of those situations had they not occurred would have shifted my life in a different direction. I think I might know, but the truth is I don’t. When I am faced with a particular challenge I may have a sense of what direction it will progress in but until I am on the other side of it, I do not know how it will affect my progression as a child of God. This seems thus far like the crux of surrender. For me it is being willing to show up and be progressively shaped by my experiences; all the while holding on to the heart knowledge of who I am at my core, which God created, and cannot be undone. When I can hold the space of hope in my progression as beloved of God, I am assured that whatever may happen can be used to progress me into being more fully my true self which is love.
My prayer for us is the courage to hold onto the hope of the power of God in loving us enough to guide our progression towards more of the love we are today.
If God trusts the progress of love, how can you be encouraged to connect with the hope of the power of love’s progression in your life today? Share in the comments.
