There is nothing we can do apart from God.  It would be like trying to operate without our DNA or cell structure.   Our connection to God is inherent to our very being.  Embracing that togetherness is what gives us power.  Have you ever found yourself wondering why there seems to be this twinge of loneliness or emptiness that exists deep inside you?  No matter what you do or how many people you surround yourself with, it is still there.  Sometimes it shows up like a feeling of unworthiness.  We all come from various life circumstances and challenges to walk through.  What kept me from slowing down taking a look at what was really going on inside of me was a fear that I would find I really wasn’t special and I wasn’t worthy.  My worst thoughts of myself would be confirmed.  Sure they told us in church that we were loved by God and at school we were approved upon when we behaved and performed well.  But how could I truly put belief into a God didn’t seem to be present when I felt unsafe at home or awkward in school?  Where was the approval when no one was watching?  On my daily dates with God I see I got a little mixed up.  I was taking on the world’s definition of togetherness, love, approval, and rightness.  In our time together I have the opportunity to go deep within, underneath all the stories and beliefs.  There I discovered a purity of love that has no rhyme or reason.  God loves because that is who God is. It is not about approval or safety or reward.  It is about recognizing the essence of who we are.  We are always together with God because God never leaves despite all the things we might do to run and hide.  God is every present in our lives the moment we want to be aware of our true essence.
