My genuine and overriding experience of God continues to grow and change the longer I am present in our relationship. It never ceases to amaze me the possibilities that God comes up with to show the presence of love in my life. It is as though God’s goal is to make connection over and over again in as many areas of my life as I will allow. I have come to see that it is only my perception that God wants nothing to do with a certain area of my life that prevents God from entering in. I am surprised daily by the clever forms of love show up like annoying people or circumstances. I think of it like the first time I saw a gift wrapped in comic strips from the newspaper. It blew my mind that someone had not used the store-bought gift wrap paper. How ingenuous and much more entertaining than some pretty paper with a bow. I see now that God’s entrances into my life are often wrapped up in unusual packages that sometimes do not look like gifts at all. Even if nothing more than me reaching for God’s hand to find the presence love in a situation is what happens that is enough. Sometimes it is just a chance for me to remember God is still here in this moment which seems devoid of God.
Be From Reaching!
on December 15, 2016My prayer for us is the willingness to allow God to enter into our lives through the allowing of the challenging surprises beget us to reach for God’s hand and reaffirm our connection today.
