Living in the reality of who we are means the recognition and remembrance of our creation by God.  We have been given everything we need to face this life.  The degree to which we struggle comes from our lack of remembrance that we have been created by God.  It flares up when we see ourselves as separate from the One who created us.  God did not make a mistake or leave out an essential element.  It was created.  There is nothing we can face that will undo what God has created.  I know many times when I thought facing a person or situation would kill me.  As a recovering food addict I am known to think going without a certain food will cause my death.  I have feared feeling anger because I thought it made me a bad person.  None of this is true.  Not even the incest tainted my creation.  I have nothing to be shameful about because no matter how dark or ill the act done to me was, it did not undo what God created deep within me.  I just thought it did.  Every time I think I am not enough I have lost touch with what God created.  When I experience moments of fear, worry, frustration, anger, illusion of my demise or feeling not enough I have learned from my dates with God to take a simple action.  I place my hand on my heart, take a deep breath and remind myself, God created me, nothing can break me.
