The gift of dating God every day is a sense of impression on my heart. A connection that grows through learning about the multiple facets of love leaves a mark unlike any other. If you were to ask me if I was open and willing to experience anger and frustration so my heart and mind would open up more to love, I would pause and want to think about it. Everything we experience, good or bad, right or wrong, leaves an impression on our hearts. We can choose whether we want the actual experience to leave its mark or the lessons in love cultivated from it. We sometimes think we have no choice because we get triggered by the storm or feel the sense of loss so profoundly. Yet each of the experiences we have God is ready to show us how it can grow us in love if we turn to God for an interpretation. Left to my own thinking this world sucks and there are a lot of really cruel people. Who really wants to stick around for that? I might as well go back into denial, check out or allow myself to get swallowed whole into the belief that I am just as bad and dark. God continues to greet me on our dates with the perception of learning and growing in love. It’s as though God says, “Yes, Colleen, you have been touched by this experience and it hurts or makes you angry. I want you to feel it with all that you can and when you are ready, take my hand so I can show you the under side of the impression where the light is hiding. Trust me when I draw your hand to your heart you can choose to take on the impression of the light of love existing within those experiences. ” So each day I do my best to trust and believe. God has yet to cease amazing me or catching me by surprise.
Be From Impression!
on April 30, 2017My prayer for us is the courage to notice the impressions on our hearts and determine if we have allowed God’s perception of what is truly there be the element that leaves the lasting impression today.
