We like to make things complicated.  I think on some level it makes it more dramatic and we love to be the center of our own play of life.  Mostly I think  our minds don’t like to rest on the simple answer.  If it is too accessible there must be more to it we are not seeing.  Sometimes we need to dig deeper but sometimes when we do that we are just making a bigger hole.  I think I pass on the most accessible option because I miss it.  I am too busy looking for the more in-depth reasoning or justification.  This creeps in when I hear other people explain why they do something I don’t understand.  It is often the most accessible option for them, but I could not see it because I am not them.  I am busy conjuring up a big story as to someone’s reasoning for doing something and I have it all wrong.  I have learned over the years to ask God to remove my stories and give me a listening ear, an open mind and a kind heart.  Whether a person does something l like or not, I am not inside their head and have no idea what is most accessible to them when they make decisions.  I believe people do what they know, why would they do anything different unless it does not work for them?  On my daily dates with God I am invited to check in and ask, “God this is what is accessible to me, is this how you see it?” My greatest power comes in remembering that God is always the most accessible.

My prayer for us is the willingness to notice what is accessible to us and check in to see if it is the path we are called to by God today.
