I am fascinated by how we rely on our leaders (political, religious, parents, teachers, bosses to name a few) to do the right thing in every situation and then we are surprised when they mess up.  How come?  When have any of us done anything perfectly? Life is full of a multitude of choices before twelve noon.  With all the people and circumstances involved is it any wonder that things do not go as planned?  When I think about how God designed us with the rule of love.  Our purpose is to grow in love and live as an expression of love to the best of our ability. Sometimes my ability sucks.  I may find myself stuck in frustration, let down by expectations, in physical pain, too tired to care, or feeling disconnected from my own heart.  In moments like that, the rule is to do what I need to do to get back to my truest sense of self.  I cannot always do this on my own.  I have to ask God for help. God show me how to see this differently.  God, I am in a funk but willing to step out of it, show me what my next step is to be.  God, I hurt, help me feel a little less hurt.  God, I know right now I am disconnected from my heart but I have no idea how to get back and I am not sure I want to go back right now.  We may not be able to make it back into the rule of our design, but we can be honest about how much the power of love is ruling our lives in the moment.  Honesty is the surest step to returning to the rule for which we were made.
