With each breath we are given the opportunity to be an example of our core design. God graces us with the chance to live and be fruitful but it is up to us how we want to express that life and fruitfulness. We can be the epitome of light and love or we can be the embodiment of darkness and fear. A lifetime full of breaths means we will get the chance to do it all. Living in a dual dimension we cannot have one without the other. Over time if we are paying attention we can notice which epitome serves our greatest good and those of others. It is not black and white and perfection is something to work towards but while we are present in a human body with a human ego, it will evade us. Instead we get to engage the dance and make room for all facets of ourselves. The acceptance that one does not erase the other or overcome it. No matter how dark or fearful things become, God’s design of light and love in us will never fade completely. We will always be capable of choosing to be the epitome of God’s great design. Sometimes it may feel like we do not have a choice or we are too tired to choose. Other times it may seem as though there are multiple forces fighting against us. Each of those times with that same breath we can reconnect to our hearts and feel the strength of God deep within us. God please help me remember I am not alone in this. God, let me not lose sight of your design in me and those around me. God, I can’t see the light anymore, open the eyes of my heart. Those are my simple prayers when I cannot muster up the energy to epitomize the light of love I know is still alive in me.
Be From Epitome!
on June 14, 2017My prayer for us is the courage to notice how what we choose to epitomize serves us and others today.
