We live in a world where things are often not what they seem so it can be hard to trust in a God that is genuine.  God operates in an opposite fashion from much of the world, yet God places us right in the midst of it.  It is a call to be the presence of something more than what it seems in a genuine way.  It is not about pretending to be something different from who we are in order to operate in the world but to find a space of peace between being our genuine God gracious selves in the midst of everything that seems to be contradicting it.  The reality is that everything at its core is the same genuine elements of God which created all.  Some of us just get lost in the mix and forget who we truly are.  We then operate from a false sense of self and get further disconnected from our own truth.  God never stops seeing us for the genuine gift of love to the world we are.  God is always ready to remind us we are not lost, it only seems like it.  The first step is paying attention to where we feel a lack of genuine movement from our hearts in our lives.  For me, it came when I realized I was barely in tune with what was going and coming from my heart to begin with.  I did not have clue what was genuine from that space because I had closed it off.  Many circumstances and people showed up in my life to help direct me to the place of restoration but it was not until I made the decision to turn to God myself that things began to shift.
