Inherent in our system is restoration. Each time we take a breath we restore the oxygen levels in our system. Each time we close and then open our eyes our lenses are refreshed. So much of what occurs beyond our awareness is a restoring of the truth of who we are. God is at work all the time making sure love wins. The more we are willing to allow ourselves to play a role in the restoring of love’s reign, the more we are equipped to handle everything that stands in opposition to it. God does not need us to believe in his power. God needs us to be willing to stand and live on his message. When we make the time to align ourselves to God’s vision of life, we can see clearly the vital role we play in restoring the presence of love in whatever situation we encounter. God needs us where we are. When I feel myself off kilter or stuck in my stinking thinking, I am nowhere near being able to believe in the possibility that love is what is restoring life to its right place. I need God’s help as only she can guide me back to my heart. On our dates each morning I humbly bring the madness of my thinking and lay it at his feet. I think it should all be thrown away like a scrap heap and just start new. God shows me it is not about getting rid of my darker energies but allowing them to be restored by the light.
My prayer for us is the courage to believe God is capable of restoring even the darkest part of our natures because she knows at their root there is love today.
