A sense of safety is integral to the capability to be present to love. Safety creates the grounding from which all humans are able to flourish. When we know within ourselves we are safe we have the power to authentically express ourselves. In our years of dates every morning, God has guided me to my heart through my breath. God was pointing me to the untouched space of safety where the purest place of being is housed. In the space of love God reigns. In God’s rule, safety is a given. I grew up feeling very unsafe for many reasons and learned all kinds of mechanisms to get through despite this absence. I had all the appearances of safety but it is not just an outside job. When one feels safe they do not question whether they have the right to take up space on the planet. We all know intrinsically what we need to establish a sense of safety from the inside out. I did not know how and so I opted to encase my heart in steel and ice. Safety not love was my primary goal. On the outside I wasn’t cold but I kept people enough at a distance that they need try to penetrate the inner realm of my heart. God has led me gently to soften my heart. To let go of the anger and resentment and embrace the softness and sincerity of genuine love. A love safely encased in my heart which cannot be damaged by outside occurrences. Once I connected to the safety of a relationship with God, I was willing to open myself up to the vibrancy of living from a space of love and joy one day at a time.
Be From Safety!
on April 2, 2017My prayer for us is the courage to take God up on the opportunity to find the space of safety in which the possibilities of love can bring life to our being today.
