dailydatewithgod

Sometimes it is hard to know what message God is trying to send us.  I know my ego can co-opt my sense of what it means to be connected spiritually and leave me thinking I need to do more or be more spiritual in order to say or do something.  The beauty of God’s movement in our lives is the subtlety in which it occurs, but the same subtlety also makes it difficult to operate from certainty.  In my daily dates with God, I have learned the only certainty I can count on is in the presence of God which is knowledge carried in my heart.  Sometimes God’ presence is so quiet and still it seems as though nothing is there and my mind will begin to doubt.  My daily dates have taught me to keep showing up anyway.  When I show up I become willing to notice the signature of God which signs itself into reality in ways I never imagined.  It is not possible for me to know how God will show up in any given situation because there are a multitude of possibilities my mind cannot begin to conjure up. My heart knows the signature of God.  It has a stroke here, a dot there, and a space between those two characters. They may just be in a different order this time. I am aware of  the signature of God when I step away from the content and look at the process.  I see the writing on the wall when I look with my heart’s eyes instead of my mind’s eyes. Sometimes I don’t see God’s signature because I haven’t played my part yet.  I just get to walk by faith knowing God will play a role because God is everywhere.
