Our minds have this incredible capability and desire to make meaning from everything. It is what moves us to action in positive and negative ways. The disciplined life is about reigning in our meanings and pausing before acting on them. Questioning is a tool so we can begin to make sense of the meaning. Each day on my date, I turn to God with my heart open as much as it is that morning and ask to be directed by God’s sense of things. “God, is this how you see the events of my life?” I want to touch the transcendent meanings of my self and my world. I know from experience that within God’s sense of life is the power of love. Within God’s sense of existence and purpose is the knowledge of the multitude of possibilities existing within each encounter and relationship. Within God’s sense of the here and now is the reminder that love is all there is no matter what ever else is appearing in the moment. My heart longs to be connected with this sense because no matter how profound or logical the meanings are that I come up with, they all fall short. Only God’s sense contains the everlasting nature of peace.
Be From Sense!
on February 25, 2017My prayer for us is the courage to open our hearts and minds to God’s sense of who and where we are as we move through the day today.
