We are designed to be the transparency of love.  God created us in her image.  God crafted us out of love because it is who God is.  We do not need to worry ourselves if we are worthy or deserving.  If we wonder about that we are spending our wonder on unimportant things.  How do we know God finds us worthy of being the transparency of love?  We are alive.  We are breathing. We have within us a love so profound we can barely wrap our heads around it.  Why would the Great Creator design beings out of desire to share himself as less than?  It makes no sense that God created us for anything less than blessedness and purity.  It is not about us being worthy or fixed or made right or saved or cleaned-up.  It is about letting go of the beliefs we have taken on as a result of measuring ourselves by the standards of the world run by humans (including ourselves) with a limited perspective. We look at our circumstance and see ourselves as only them. We are phenomenal beings but when we reduce ourselves as only being able to fit into the configurations designed by our limited minds, we sell ourselves short.  We cannot be transparent if we are filled with stories and beliefs that stand in contrast to our very nature.  It is not easy to let go of these beliefs, I know this first hand.  It is a moment at a time process we are invited to engage in if we want to experience the blessedness of being within our own hearts.  When we are in a funk or find ourselves so clouded over with ideas of ourselves as less than, we need the hand of God to bring us gently back to our hearts.  God how do you see me in this moment?  God, how can I possibly be the transparency of love when love is the farthest thing from my mind in this moment?  It is humbling to acknowledge we do not know the truth of who we are, but God has not yet nor will she ever give up on us.
