In the Hebrew scriptures God tells Jeremiah that before he was in his mother’s womb, God knew him and formed him. Before I was a glimmer in my parent’s eyes, my heart not yet formed had been pierced by the love of the Creator. God found a vehicle through which to make love manifest in me and in you. God’s mission is love and so we are brought into reality to share in that mystery of love. This has been decided before we even take shape. We are called to pierce the reality of life with this same love. Just by showing up we are the message of love which is even deeper than our core essence. When I set out on my daily prayer and meditation date with God it is my intention to be brought back to a place of remembrance of this truth. It is the piercing of my own heart that needs to happen if I am going to have any hope of being what I am ultimately called to be. It doesn’t take much for other elements to get piled on top of my heart to the point of needing a piercing followed by an infusion of God’s presence. Thankfully we all are not in this same space at the same time. We are surrounded by living and walking embodiments of being pierced alive by the power of love through each other. In any given moment I am the one who demonstrates the visibility of the love and power of God or the one who needs it from you. No wonder we are surprised by the power of love. When we need it the most it might feel almost invasive and heart breaking instead of heart building. It is only the layers (ideas, beliefs, misunderstandings, false protections) that we placed on top of our hearts that hurt when pierced. At our core the piercing feels like a life line to the eternal because it is.
Be From Piercing!
on February 10, 2017My prayer for us is the courage to show up as the piercing presence of love in our lives and be open to when others have the privilege to be that very gift of a piercing of love for us today.
