A valuable outcome of my daily prayer and mediation practice where God and I meet for our dates is the pause button. Not something occurring on our date specifically but a growth of learning to breathe and create space that I am able to take into my day. Just as I make time to connect at the beginning of my day with the Eternal Source of life and love when I pause and take a breath I reinitiate the experience. I am allowing for consideration of my heart by taking the pause. I have instinctively found myself drawing my hand to my heart drawing my attention there an allowing understanding to speak from within me. The pause engages my attention to what I want to be taken into consideration as I make a decision. God has taught me the presence of God and therefore love in all things. When I am not aware of it I know it is because I have not gotten to a place of considering with my heart. The more pauses I take, the more my heart engages in all areas of my life. Whether to say hello to someone, finish one more thing before I leave, buy something, flirt with someone, turn left or right, or take more time on our date. It does not matter the decision. The more consideration I give to the view of my heart, the more whole and complete my life is.
My prayer for us is the courage to develop the muscle of consideration of the heart with every choice we are given today.
