As we walk through this life it is easy to get stuck in the muddiness of it all.  Everywhere we turn we see messages of death and destruction and that is just the morning news report.  We come across people whose hearts are closed off out of fear.  We wake up and realize our own hearts are closed.  How is it possible to believe that a God who is love created us out of the same pureness of love’s energy?  How can this be true if we seem to lack evidence of this reality?  Perhaps it has something to do with the lens through which we are viewing life.  I remember when I was deep in the depths of my addiction when I was resigned to what I thought I was defined by the dark and muddy spaces inside myself.  I felt defeated and was struggling so hard to reach for the light I sensed somehow existed somewhere even if not in me anymore.  What else could that willingness to not completely give up be other than God?  The pureness of God’s presence in our lives remains there whether we are aware of it or not.  The essential of nature of God will not change based on our circumstances or feelings.  God will always be the beacon of pureness emanating from us when we are connected to it.  When I find myself in moments of not being able to see either my own pureness or someone else’s I know I need God’s help. God, how do you see me? God, how do you see this person, event, circumstance?  Show me what I need to do to open my eyes.
