The perspective of our world offered by God is meant as an alternative to the one we often find ourselves drenched. God offers it to replace the one we have experienced as wounding our hearts. A miracle can be as simple as a change in our thinking. The spiritual process of letting go is so we can make room for an enlightened perspective. This replaced perspective allows us to see the miracles in our lives which are always present. The replacement of our old and darkened thinking comes as an invitation. God will not impose her will on us. God will not make us take on his perspective. It is enlightened thinking because it allows us to see the light of love without being blocked. It is enlightened because it just comes if we allow it. The very nature of God’s way of being is to allow for the flourishing of joy and love. I am a testament to how long one can hold on to old and darkened thinking because it is familiar. The moment I decided I had enough of my own thinking and allowed God to replace mine with hers, life got easier. I recognize that must have needed to get to a place of great pain before I was willing to consider the replacement. I am at peace with that because I see it from God’s perspective, not just mine. The situations in our lives that break us down and open provide a unique opportunity to allow the enlightened view to enter in without effort. But we do not have to get to a place of pain if we want to invite it in before then. When we welcome the replacement we will find that we are lighter, our hearts are stronger, and within us is a sacred space that thrives in the light.
My prayer for us is the courage to consider God’s thinking as a replacement of our own and be with the light of love today.
