dailydatewithgod

God endowed us with a passion for life because it is what God is.  The love within us means we thrive and grow from the expansion of who we are at our core.  How do we tap into this?  How do we connect with the truth of who we are when we are lost in the outward expectations from ourselves or others?  On my daily dates with God I am reminded that the only ones present are me and God.  No one else comes into that sacred space.  My heart time first thing in the morning happens before I pick up my phone, check my email, read the news or engage in conversation with another.  Spending time centering myself with the One who knows me inside and out, accepts me inside and out, exactly as I am in the moment opens the door for me to find the same experience for myself and others as I go through my day.  This door to my heart allows me to see with my physical eyes the ardor for life that I have always had with me.  The ardor allows me to hold space for the innocence of the person who cuts me off in traffic, uses the machine at the gym I want, gets the parking space before me, or criticizes me at work. The ardor of life is always ready to be tapped into when we are open to experiencing it.
