God knows who we are and always recognizes us as our truth.  As our Creator, God does not get caught up in the stories and layers of falsehoods that we place on top of our true essence.  I suppose this is part of what makes God greater than us.  We can easily get lost in our stories and circumstances.  I do all the time.  I perceive whatever I am going through as my full reality.  Yes, it is something I am walking through and present to at the moment, but it does not define me.  God is there and cognizant of the love God created us from.  God invites us to become equally cognizant of our true reality.  We are not chameleons who must change depending on our environment to survive.  Our purpose is not to meld into the scenery. God created us as forces of love and light.  We are to shine the magnificence of God’s loving presence in whatever situation we are in to the best of our ability.  It is hard to fathom that we could really play a role as profound as being the presence of light and love in every situation.  It is because we have stopped remembering ourselves as who we truly are.  On any given day we default to the roles we have, the things we own, and the emotional experiences we are having as a result of the situations we are in.  If I am faced with a trigger of an old memory and find myself disturbed by someone else’s behavior, I can quickly fall into thinking that facing those things are who I am. God invites me through my breath to pause and remember who I am and encourages me to be that in the presence of whatever is there.  It is not easy, but it is simple.
