When we stop and pay attention to that which drives us in our doing, we see our desires. Those desires are the underpinning of our decisions and then our actions. Our desires speak to the longings in our heart and our alignments. God provides us with indications of the direction from which to live our lives in our desires. I used to think that a desire to do something or be something was wrong. How did I know if that was God’s will for me? I was more concerned with being the good little Catholic girl who got it right than slowing down and listening to my heart. It was not until my heart broke open out of desperation and exhaustion of trying to be what I thought I was supposed to be that I started listening. In our daily dates, God guides my attention to my heart so I can restore the connection and bring it into coherence with my mind. As I go through the day I can pause check in with my heart and know if I am being led by the desire of my heart which is of God or the dictates of my mind.
My prayer for us is the courage to cultivate a listening of our hearts and learn of the desires of love to be lived in and through us today.
