God is present. As we open our eyes to the profound nature of love that exists within our own hearts we become present to the true presence of God in our lives. When all else falls away, God remains. When our plans don’t work out and we feel abandoned, God remains. When we want to abandon ourselves because the self-hatred has gotten too strong, God remains. When we are full of fear and worry that we will not amount to anything, God remains. For me, the fact that God remains with me no matter what happens in my life is evidence of a power greater than myself. Much of my life was about mastering the art of abandonment. I thought it happen to me by others, but I realized the most profound was the way that I would abandon myself. God has not once blinked. God remains, always.
My prayer for us is the simplicity of wonder at the fascination of our presence that God acknowledges by remaining with us today.
If God in infinite wisdom deems us as valuable enough to remain with no matter what, how can God show you the value of remaining in love with you today? Share in the comments.
