dailydatewithgod

God changes.  My perspective on life has changed significantly since I started on my daily meditation dates with God.  Each morning as I have brought myself as fully as possible to our date, my way of thinking has been altered.  I can remember times when I would picture myself placing my troubled thinking in the hands or at the feet of God as though on an altar. It helped me to imagine letting go completely of the thinking that was robbing me of my peace.  But God didn’t grab the thoughts and take them away.  God looked me in the eye and acknowledged the thinking I brought to be altered. God would take a look them and with great love assure me that it would be taken care of. Then the miracle would occur.  I would find myself in the very situation that used to make me feel trapped or discomforted by my way of thinking and would somehow see the situation from a different angle.  I would hear words come out of my mouth enabling me to handle the situation with love.  It was as though I was rethinking the situation. Other times, the experience was off my radar and I never had to think about it again.  The rethinking, to think as God thinks, is what transformed my heart.  It has made me so grateful when I am willing to let go long enough of a way of thinking because I remember that God does not think as I do.  The simplest prayers I say throughout the day are “God please help me to see this as You see this, God change my thinking or I placed my thinking on the altar of Your mind.”

If God will not judge us for our thinking, what might be keeping you from being open to rethinking an experience or situation today?  Share in the comments.
