God is now. The mysteries of God will continue to grow and expand the closer we get to solving them.  God is not a math problem to figure out. God is not a design to be detected.  God is about presence in the here and now moments.  Living a life in relationship with our Creator calls us to be open to the fascinating way love shows up in the moment we are in.  Right here, right now is where God is, always.  We miss it if we are busy somewhere else in our minds.  Thankfully God embodies an ever-generous nature which provides another present moment and a chance to be right here right after this one.  We get as many chances as we are willing to take to be present in the here and now where love is made manifest.  It will never show up in this exact way again.  If we want to be open to seeing and experiencing God in all the possible facets and ways of being, we have to be willing to be in this moment.  Several times this past week I noticed acutely when I would leave the moment I was in.  Whether it was someone telling me something and I realized I stopped listening or letting my mind wander in traffic.   I am grateful for the acute awareness but it is humbling to realize how many now moments I miss out on because I go somewhere else in my head.  There was a time in my life when it served me well and probably saved my life to escape the present moment. But today I am adult woman who longs to be with God as often as possible.  The full experience of God’s loving present is most fully felt right here, no other time.

If God is with us most fully when we are where we are right here and now, are you willing to take as many chances as you can to be present to love right here and now today?  Share in the comments.
