Most of us know our familial roots to some extent.  We identify as belonging to specific family groups, cultures, races, historical backgrounds.  We label ourselves by the characteristics of our cultures. Even our mannerisms and personality styles are attributed to these familial lines of heritage.  Our greatest heritage is of God.  Yet we struggle with identifying the familiar faculties we embody that are like God. When we engage in relationship with God and begin to notice the ways in which she is present in our lives our familiarity grows.  We notice how he moves in and through us in the same way that our human family does.  Our familiarity with our culture or family comes from the amount of time we spend in the presence of those people.  God invites us to get to know and claim our familiarity with her by doing the same.  He lets us know he is ready to be with us as much as possible and is delighted to do so.  It is up to us to accept the invitation one moment at a time.
